Is it possible to get the name of a node using minidom?

for example i have a node:

<heading><![CDATA[5 year]]></heading>

what i'm trying to do is store the value heading so that i can use it as a key in a dictionary,

the closest i can get is something like

[<DOM Element: heading at 0x11e6d28>]

i'm sure i'm overlooking something very simple here, thanks!
