[issue34160] ElementTree not preserving attribute order

[Stefan Behnel]

Stefan Behnel <stefan_ml at behnel.de> added the comment:

Ned, would it solve your problem to write a helper function that walks the tree and sorts the attrib dicts? That would also work in all existing CPython versions (because they already sort attributes anyway), for both ElementTree and lxml, and you wouldn't have to pass a new option into the serialiser conditionally based on the running Python version.
