xml question

[Eric Texier]

I am trying to compare 2 node from 2 different xml dom.
On it just read from disk and the other one has been
generated from memory: I am finding myself having to compare
the same thing in 2 differents state:
>From Disk: (unicode)
N1 [(None, u'fileName'), (None, u'OutputType'), (None, u'name'), (None,
u'UId'), (None, u'version'), (None, u'node')]
>From Memory:
N2 ['node', 'version', 'UId', 'fileName', 'OutputType', 'name']

What will be the simplest thing to do in this case?
Thanks,
Eric
