Looks like your XML file is broken in line 538676.

This should read
handler = open(args[0], "rb")
Maybe that's your problem.
BTW, since you seem to parse a pretty big chunk of XML there, you should
consider using lxml. It's faster, more memory friendly, more feature-rich and
easier to use than minidom. It can also parse directly from a gzip-ed file or
a file-like object as provided by the bz2 module.
