"""Python version compatibility support for minidom."""
# This module should only be imported using "import *".
# The following names are defined:
# NodeList -- lightest possible NodeList implementation
# EmptyNodeList -- lightest possible NodeList that is guaranteed to
# remain empty (immutable)
# StringTypes -- tuple of defined string types
# defproperty -- function used in conjunction with GetattrMagic;
# using these together is needed to make them work
# as efficiently as possible in both Python 2.2+
# and older versions. For example:
# class MyClass(GetattrMagic):
# defproperty(MyClass, "myattr",
# For Python 2.2 and newer, this will construct a
# property object on the class, which avoids
# needing to override __getattr__(). It will only
# work for read-only attributes.
# For older versions of Python, inheriting from
# GetattrMagic will use the traditional
# __getattr__() hackery to achieve the same effect,
# defproperty() should be used for each version of
# the relevant _get_<property>() function.
