Hello, I have a really strange problem. I'm unable to figure it out on
my own.
I parse very simple xml documents, without any check for their form.
These files look very similar and are encoded in UTF-8.
Now minidom is always able to parse these files with
minidom.parse(" file") .
Now when fetching I use this expression:
xmldoc.getEleme ntsByTagName('D ocNumb')[0].firstChild.dat a.encode('latin 1')
(I know it's not beautiful but convenient. )
It always work, but sometimes it simply fails to fetch any element.
Redoing it from hand in the python console with the same file always
works.
I have no idea what the error is. I compared working and not working
files with the hex editor. I couldn't find any significant change. It's
too strange. If anybody has any clue, hint or anything, please let me
know.
Regards, Jonatan

Sorry, I just found the error. Simple an empty attribute. Python showed
me strange row numbers. I used a multi line initialization of a dict.
The error always appeared on the first line although I was on an other
line.
Interesting behavior.

I'd like to compare two xml.dom.minidom objects, but the naive attempt fails:
>>> import xml.dom.minidom
>>> d1 = xml.dom.minidom.parse("ES.xml")
>>> d2 = xml.dom.minidom.parse("ES.xml")
>>> d1 == d2
False
My goal is to decide whether or not I need to prompt the user to save config
information at the end of a program run by generating a minidom object then

Hi :-)
I currently have quite a big problem with minidom and special chars (for
example ü) in HTML.
Let's say I have following input file:

I ran into a difference between Python on Windows XP and Linux Fedora
6.
Writing a dom to xml with minidom works on Linux. It gives an error on
XP if there is an empty namespace. The problem was handled in CVS a
while ago.

Hi,
I'm working with a number of scripts which were written years ago for
my company for Python 2.2, and I'd like to update for Python 2.5. I
have written a script to add # -*- coding: cp1252 -*- to the beginning
of all my scripts, and that has fixed the encoding issues.
Another issue was the use of -
from _xmlplus.dom import minidom

I ran into a very strange behaviour of raw_input().
I hope somebody can tell me how to fix this.
(Or is this a problem in the python source?)
I will explain the problem by using 3 examples. (Sorry, long email)
The first two examples are behaving normal, the thirth is
strange.......
