Regarding xml/dom/minidom.py Noticed that the minidom's writer functions sorted the attributes, but not the nodes, when writing (to file or other). This resulted in XML files having nodes in different order each time it was written (or at least not sorted, in OSX the nodes came in different order each time). This could maybe be a problem with ie. files that seemd to change when there realy isn't any content changes. If not, its just better looking to have them sorted. Wrote a patch for it if anyone wants to use it or add it to the repository. Can't say that I've done any extensive testing tho, if anyone sees any problems with it, please tell!
Logged In: YES user_id=38376 The element order tends to be pretty important in most XML formats. If applied to e.g. a simple XHTML file, your patch would place all text nodes first in the body, followed by all headers, and finally all paragraphs. I'm not sure a human reader would agree that the resulting document looks better...
