[python-uk] Merging DOM trees

[Matt Hamilton]

Hi All,
  Anyone know if there is a simple built-in way in which to overlay one XML DOM tree on top of another? Other than traversing both and creating nodes on the target DOM that existing in the source?

I'm currently using minidom, but could use something else... this is for a silly little script though, so don't really want to go through compiling some big esoteric XML library if I don't have to.

e.g.

Dom A:

<A>
  <B>
    <C>foo</C>
    <C>bar</C>
  </B>
</A>

overlaid on:

<A>
  <B></B>
  <D>baz</D>
</A>

would give:

<A>
  <B>
    <C>foo</C>
    <C>bar</C>
  </B>
  <D>baz</D>
</A>
