Category: XML Group: Python 2.3 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Matthias Kempka (mkempka) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: xml.dom.minidom.Node.removeChild() doesn't remove Initial Comment: There seems to be a constellation where xml.dom.minidom.Node.removeChild() doesn't remove childs properly. I found this bug in 2.3.4 and it is still in: Python 2.3.5 (#2, Feb 9 2005, 00:38:15) [GCC 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8)] on linux2 I attached 3 files, the dombug.py demonstrates the problem: First, I iterate over all children of a specific element, check their tag name and remove them using removeChild() and then child.unlink(). After the elements are removed I iterate again, do the same check for a tag and find there are still elements in there. That is, there are still elements in there when I parse the file errorintroducer.xml. When I parse the file errorfree.xml the elements are all removed. The difference between the xml files is the carriage return after each closing tag. Since to my knowledge both xml files are well-formed I would expect in both cases that all elements are removed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Matthias Kempka (mkempka) Date: 2005-03-06 22:24 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=736381 so.. this form posts the error report with uploading files...interesting... Anyway, the output I get when running the program with errorintroducer.xml is: > python dombug.py found element 1 .. removed found element 3 .. removed found element 5 .. removed -----------everything removed from timerList[0]--------------- found Element 2 found Element 4 found Element 6 imho it should be, as it is with errorfree.xml: found element 1 .. removed found element 2 .. removed found element 3 .. removed found element 4 .. removed found element 5 .. removed found element 6 .. removed -----------everything removed from timerList[0]--------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1157901&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
