What I'm doing, is read an xml file, create another dom object and copy
the element from one to the other.
At no time do I ever modify the original dom object, yet it gets
modified.
for y in x.getElementsByTagName('display-name'):
elem.appendChild(y)
tv_xml.appendChild(elem)
You'll note that at no time do I modify the content of docxml, yet it
gets modified.
The weirdness disappear if I change the line
channellist = docxml.getElementsByTagName('channel')
to
channellist = copy.deepcopy(docxml.getElementsByTagName('channel'))
However, my understanding is that it shouldn't be necessary.
I think that any element can have only a single parent. If you get an
element from one document and insert it onto another document, it gets
removed from the first.
