[xml] Copying XML subtrees across documents (in Python)
Hi, What is the recommended way (in the libxml2 Python binding) to copy a node and all of its children (but not its siblings!) from one document to another document? I tried (x is a node in the new document, y a node in the old document): x.addChild(y) x.addChild(y.copyNodeList()) but in either case (when adding several nodes as children of x) I seem to get siblings of (only!) the last added node when serializing the new document (the other nodes are added without siblings).

I tried (x is a node in the new document, y a node in the old document): x.addChild(y) x.addChild(y.copyNodeList()) Ok, you want to copy, not move the node, so lxml.etree would do: from copy import deepcopy x.append(deepcopy(y)) Short and intuitive.

Thanks, but if anyhow possible, I'd like to stick to something that is available from stock RHEL5 and python-lxml isn't included there. Ok, you want to copy, not move the node, so lxml.etree would do: from copy import deepcopy x.append(deepcopy(y)) Short and intuitive. Yes it is, I will certainly consider migrating to lxml. But isn't there a method that works without lxml? Now porting my stuff to lxml is quite some work...
