Python test case to print node names and attributes (641 bytes, text/x-python)
2004-07-20 13:57 UTC, Sitsofe Wheeler 		Details

Description Sitsofe Wheeler 2004-07-20 13:55:09 UTC 
Description:
In libxml2-2.6.11, XmlReader (after reading an attribute) does not appear to
move off the attribute and on to the next element after Read() is done.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Run the attached python file

Expected output:
node name: doc
node name: #text
node name: element1
attribute: a1="1"
attribute: a2="2"
attribute: a3="3"
node name: #text
node name: element2
node name: #text
node name: element2
node name: doc

Actual output:
node name: doc
node name: #text
node name: element1
attribute: a1="1"
attribute: a2="2"
attribute: a3="3"
node name: a3
node name: a3
node name: a3
node name: a3
node name: a3

(I can't find / select 2.6.11 from the version listbox so I'm filing this
against "CVS (head)")

As noted with further discussion on the mailing list, I've made a small change to xmlreader.c which 
should fix the problem.  Thanks for the report and the clear test case.

 This should be fixed in release libxml2-2.6.12.
                                                                                
   thanks,

You are welcome. Quite frankly I've been bowled over at how polite and courteous
the responses to my bugs have been. Thank you for fixing them.
