New submission from John Jolly <jjo...@suse.com>: The current implementation of the xpath specification in ElementTree does not allow for predicates that may contain both an apostrophe and a quote. Either one or the other is allowed, but escaping (either string escaping using the backslash or html escaping) is not supported.
A simple solution would be to implement the xpath concat function for predicates. This would allow the combination of quote types in the predicate. Attached is a proposed patch for this fix. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: etree-concat.patch keywords: patch messages: 309344 nosy: jjolly priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add concat functionality to ElementTree xpath find type: enhancement versions: Python 3.7 Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file47360/etree-concat.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32476> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
