ElementTree排序问题

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14257978/elementtree-setting-attribute-order

Apply monkey patch as mentioned below:: 
in ElementTree.py file, there is a functionnamed as _serialize_xml; 
in this function; apply the below mentioned patch;

       ##for k, v in sorted(items):  # remove the sorted here

       for k, v in items:

           if isinstance(k, QName):

               k = k.text

           if isinstance(v, QName):

               v = qnames[v.text]

           else:

               v = _escape_attrib(v, encoding)

           write(" %s=\"%s\"" % (qnames[k], v))

here; remove the sorted(items) andmake it just items like i have doneabove. 

Also to disable sorting based on namespace(because in above patch; sorting isstill present when namespace is present for xml attribute; otherwise ifnamespace is not present; then above is working fine); so to do that, replaceall {} with collections.OrderedDict() from ElementTree.py
