New submission from Patrick W. <[email protected]>:
When using xml.etree.ElementTree to parse external XML files, all XML comments
within that file are being stripped out. I guess that happens because there is
no comment handler in the expat parser.
Example:
test.xml
--------
<example>
<nodeA />
<!-- some comment -->
<nodeB />
</example>
test.py
-------
from xml.etree import ElementTree
with open( 'test.xml', 'r' ) as f:
xml = ElementTree.parse( f )
ElementTree.dump( xml )
Result
------
<example>
<nodeA />
<nodeB />
</example>
