New submission from Mark Summerfield <m...@qtrac.eu>: If you read in an XML file that specifies its encoding and then later on use xml.etree.ElementTree.write(), it is always written using US-ASCII.
I think the behaviour should be different: (1) If the XML that was read included an encoding, that encoding should be remembered and used when writing. (2) If there is no encoding the default for writing should be UTF-8 (which is the standard for XML files). (3) For non-XML files use US-ASCII. Naturally, any of these could be overridden using an encoding argument to the write() method. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 112962 nosy: mark priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: xml.etree.ElementTree forgets the encoding type: behavior versions: Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9522> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
