python/tests/sync.py assumes Python dictionaries are ordered For https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=734017 Solaris has had libxml2 version 2.9.1 for a while, with Python versions 2.6 and 2.7. While preparing to also build a module for Python 3.4, we ran into an issue with the test case sync.py failing. The failure involved parsing a string that included a Python dictionary, then complaining when the order of the parsed result did not match the original order. But Python dictionaries are unordered by definition; see section 5.5 of https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/datastructures.html . For whatever reason, Python 2.6 and 2.7 always happened to report the pair of values back in their original order, but with Python 3.4 the order is random. The attached patch allows for either order; it also fixes a typo that was repeated several times thanks to the magic of copy & paste.

This code is released under the MIT Licence see the Copyright file.
To build on an Unixised setup:
./configure ; make ; make install
To build on Windows:
see instructions on win32/Readme.txt
To assert build quality:
on an Unixised setup:
run make tests
otherwise:
There is 3 standalone tools runtest.c runsuite.c testapi.c, which
should compile as part of the build or as any application would.
Launch them from this directory to get results, runtest checks
the proper functionning of libxml2 main APIs while testapi does
a full coverage check. Report failures to the list.
