python同级xml节点值比较

背景：给定两个xml字符串，然后比较两个xml相同层级、相同名字（在ElementTree组建里叫tag）的节点的值是否一致，相同层级不能含有多个名字相同的子节点（即tag不能重复），如果发现有值不一致的，返回True

def compare_xml(left_nodes, right_nodes, key_info='.'):
    left_len, right_len = len(left_nodes), len(right_nodes)
    for i in range(left_len):
        left_node_tag, left_node_text = left_nodes[i].tag, left_nodes[i].text
        for j in range(right_len):
            right_node_tag, right_node_text = right_nodes[j].tag, right_nodes[j].text
            if right_node_tag == left_node_tag:
                if right_node_text == left_node_text:
                    s = '%s/%s' % (key_info, left_node_tag)
                    if len(left_nodes[i].getchildren()) > 0:
                        return compare_xml(left_nodes[i], right_nodes[j], s)
                else:
                    s = '%s/%s' % (key_info, left_node_tag)
                    print(s)
                    return True
