Python 3.3: Convert XML to YAML

I'm trying to convert XML files to YAML using Python 3.3. This is my code:

#! /etc/python3

test_filename_input = './reference-conversions/wikipedia-example.xml'
test_filename_output = 'wikipedia-example_xml_read-as-binary.yaml'

file_object = open( test_filename_input, 'rb')
data_in = file_object.read()
file_object.close()

from xml.dom.minidom import parseString
document_object = parseString( data_in)

import yaml
stream = open( test_filename_output, 'w')
yaml.dump( document_object, stream)
stream.close()

As a reference I used the XML-file from here:

<person>
  <firstName>John</firstName>
  <lastName>Smith</lastName>
  <age>25</age>
  <address>
    <streetAddress>21 2nd Street</streetAddress>
    <city>New York</city>
    <state>NY</state>
    <postalCode>10021</postalCode>
  </address>
  <phoneNumbers>
    <phoneNumber type="home">212 555-1234</phoneNumber>
    <phoneNumber type="fax">646 555-4567</phoneNumber>
  </phoneNumbers>
  <gender>
    <type>male</type>
  </gender>
</person>

which should result in something like this:

---
  firstName: John
  lastName: Smith
  age: 25
  address: 
        streetAddress: 21 2nd Street
        city: New York
        state: NY
        postalCode: 10021

  phoneNumber: 
        -  
            type: home
            number: 212 555-1234
        -  
            type: fax
            number: 646 555-4567
  gender: 
        type: male

However, the result is:

&id001 !!python/object/new:xml.dom.minidom.Document
state: !!python/tuple
- implementation: !!python/object:xml.dom.minidom.DOMImplementation {}
- _elem_info: {}
  _id_cache: {}
  _id_search_stack: null
  childNodes: !!python/object/new:xml.dom.minicompat.NodeList
    listitems:
    - &id039 !!python/object/new:xml.dom.minidom.Element
      state: !!python/tuple
      - null
      - _attrs: null
        _attrsNS: null
        childNodes: !!python/object/new:xml.dom.minicompat.NodeList
          listitems:
          - &id045 !!python/object/new:xml.dom.minidom.Text
            state: !!python/tuple
            - null
            - _data: "\n  "
              nextSibling: &id002 !!python/object/new:xml.dom.minidom.Element
                state: !!python/tuple
                - null
                - _attrs: null
                  _attrsNS: null
                  childNodes: !!python/object/new:xml.dom.minicompat.NodeList
                    listitems:
[...]

Any idea, how to get PyYAML filter out the object-stuff from xml.dom.minidom or any alternative to using xml.dom.minidom?

Thanks!
