Depends how the input is parsed, the XML_PARSE_NOCDATA removes CDATA from the input (because CDATA doesn't exist in the XPath data model used by XSLT) and hence all CDATA are included as text nodes and adjacent text nodes are automatically merged when parsed. If your python processes the tree and not parse an instance, or if it lacks the XML_PARSE_NOCDATA option at parsing then you won't see the same effect.
