[xml] Copying XML subtrees across documents (in Python)

[Jos Vos <jos xos nl>]

Hi,

What is the recommended way (in the libxml2 Python binding) to copy
a node and all of its children (but not its siblings!) from one
document to another document?

I tried (x is a node in the new document, y a node in the old document):
        
        x.addChild(y)
        x.addChild(y.copyNodeList())

but in either case (when adding several nodes as children of x) I seem
to get siblings of (only!) the last added node when serializing the new
document (the other nodes are added without siblings).

Any help is appreciated,
