Stefan Behnel <stefan...@behnel.de> added the comment:
Arguably, writing out "b'x'" as attribute name instead of raising an exception isn't ideal. However, OTOH, I think it's reasonable to accept anything that is serialisable as a string, not just strings. That makes it difficult to draw a line. In any case, it's ok for ElementTree to not allow bytes in general. I'll close this issue, because I don't think it's worth being called a bug. ---------- nosy: +scoder resolution: -> wont fix stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue28237> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
