CDATA-Sections lost in xpath.findvalue ...

[GoogleCodeExporter]

CDATA-Sections are lost in the string_value function:

>>> str = '<asdf><![CDATA[lalaal<hallo>lasdfasdf]]></asdf>'
>>> import xml.dom.minidom as minidom
>>> doc = minidom.parseString(str)
>>> import xpath
>>> from xpath.expr import string_value
>>> string_value(doc.firstChild.firstChild)
>>>
>>> string_value(doc)
u''
>>>



I expected:
u'lalaal<hallo>lasdfasdf'


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Python 2.5, Windows 7


Attached is a patch that checks for CDATA-Sections and inserts their content 
into the string-value.
