yes it does because adding ' does not mean replacing " so it will still load standard json. Like every browser does and is exactly the same philosofie as http://docs.python.org/library/xml.dom.minidom.html The xml.dom.minidom module is essentially a DOM 1.0-compatible DOM with some DOM 2 features (primarily namespace features). or unlink() is a xml.dom.minidom-specific extension to the DOM API. After calling unlink() on a node, the node and its descendants are essentially useless. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
