"I have a python DOM object output, I need to get only the "Elements" from it."

You can filter your list item where nodeType == xml.dom.minidom.Node.ELEMENT_NODE. For example, assuming that your 'DOM object output' stored in a variable named output, you can do as follow :

from xml.dom import minidom
.....
.....
result = [item for item in output if item.nodeType == minidom.Node.ELEMENT_NODE]
