R. David Murray added the comment: This kind of thing is why python3 exists. Presumably some bit of the elementree code is successfully converting non-ascii into unicode, and then when that is mixed with the result it is returning, you end up with unicode. But that is just a guess; you'll have to dig into a specific example to figure out why it is happening.
Or when you say non-deterministically, do you mean that you have tried to reproduce it with a specific entry that returns unicode in the full run and it does not reproduce? Although even in that case it might be due to some complex interaction in the non-reduced code... It might be interesting to run it under python3 and see if anything odd happens there...but it will probably just work. ---------- components: +XML nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18268> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
