Thanks for help. Thats inspiring, tho not exactly what I need, coz
ignoring document order is requirement (ignoring changes in order of
different siblings of the same type, etc). I plan to try something
like that:
def xmlCmp(xmlStr1, xmlStr2):
et1 = etree.XML(xmlStr1)
et2 = etree.XML(xmlStr2)
queue = []
tmpq = deque([et1])
tmpq2 = deque([et2])
while tmpq:
el = tmpq.popleft()
tmpq.extend(el)
queue.append(el.tag)
while queue:
el = queue.pop()
foundEl = findMatchingElem(el, et2)
if foundEl:
et1.remove(el)
tmpq2.remove(foundEl)
else:
return False
if len(tmpq2) == 0:
return True
else:
return False
def findMatchingElem(el, eTree):
for elem in eTree:
if elemCmp(el, elem):
return elem
return None
def elemCmp(el1, el2):
pass # yet to be implemented ;)
