pickle handles minidom.Document correctly, however copy does not. Even if patch to NodeList will be applied, copy or pickle modules need to be adjusted to produce identical results. >From this view point copy module needs to be adjusted. Here is the test code: import copy, pickle from xml.dom.minidom import NodeList obj = NodeList() obj.append('a') obj2 = copy.deepcopy(obj) print(obj2) obj2 = pickle.loads(pickle.dumps(obj)) print(obj2) Output (python 2.7-3.2): ['a', 'a'] ['a'] ---------- nosy: +genij.math _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10131> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
