Hello,
I have a big problem with libxml2 python bindings. The problem also
occurs in the C API, but it is easily fixable there (so it can be just
called a 'feature').
Here is the test case (python code):
import libxml2
doc=libxml2.parseDoc("<a xmlns='http://a/'><b xmlns='http://b/'/></a>")
a = doc.getRootElement()
b = a.children
print `doc.serialize()`
print "Ns of <b/>: %r" % (b.ns().content,)
b.setNs(a.ns())
print `doc.serialize()`
print "Ns of <b/>: %r" % (b.ns().content,)
The output is:
'<?xml version="1.0"?>\n<a xmlns="http://a/"><b xmlns="http://b/"/></a>\n'
Ns of <b/>: 'http://b/'
'<?xml version="1.0"?>\n<a xmlns="http://a/"><b xmlns="http://b/"/></a>\n'
Ns of <b/>: 'http://a/'
[...]
The biggest problem is, that I cannot fix that using only the Python
API. xmlNode.reconciliateNs() does nothing about that.
There was a bug in xmlSearchNsByHref, which caused xmlReconciliateNs
to fail in this scenario. Fixed in CVS (tree.c 1.339).
After applying the patch on libxml2-2.6.17 the output is:
'<?xml version="1.0"?>\n<a xmlns="http://a/"><b xmlns="http://b/"/></a>\n'
Ns of <b/>: 'http://b/'
'<?xml version="1.0"?>\n<a xmlns="http://a/"><default:b xmlns="http://b/" xmlns:default="http://a/"/></a>\n'
Ns of <b/>: 'http://a/'
That is a correct XML, but still does not satisfy me. A prefix has been
added to <b/> and the unneccessary namespace declaration is still there.
For my needs that is still unacceptable. I implement an XMPP
implementation and for backward-compatibility with many Jabber clients
I need to use default namespaces (no prefixes) in some places.
I think a function to remove (or override) namespace declaration from
a node is what I need and I will request it via Bugzilla.
Greet,
Jacek
