I'm having some issues around namespace handling with XML:
>>> document = xml.dom.minidom.Document()
>>> element = document.createElementNS("DAV:", "href")
>>> document.appendChild(element)
<DOM Element: href at 0x1443e68>
>>> document.toxml()
'<?xml version="1.0" ?>\n<href/>'
"""
I haven't worked with minidom in just about forever, but from what I
can tell this is a serious bug (or at least an appalling mising
feature). I can't find anything in the Element,writexml() method that
deals with namespaces. But I'm just baffled. Is there really any way
such a bug could have gone so long unnoticed in Python and PyXML? I
searched both trackers, and the closest thing I could find was this
from 2002:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=637355&group_id=6473&atid=106473
Different symptom, but also looks like a case of namespace ignorant
code.
Can anyone who's worked on minidom more recently let me know if I'm
just blind to something?
