New submission from Colin Stewart <co...@owlfish.com>: The documentation for the xml.sax.handler.property_xml_string SAX property states that it should be "data type: String". However when retrieving this value in Python 3.1 it returns a bytes object instead.
This makes handling the returned value very difficult because there is no method for retrieving the character set encoding that the XML was originally encoded with. This is currently blocking the port of SimpleTAL to Python 3 achieving feature parity with Python 2. ---------- components: XML messages: 91482 nosy: cms103 severity: normal status: open title: xml.sax.xmlreader.XMLReader.getProperty (xml.sax.handler.property_xml_string) returns bytes type: behavior versions: Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6686> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
