I have been waiting a lot to ask this question and I did ask some days back but probably could not put it the proper way.
I assume you missed the answer you got?
I want to know how I can safely include special characters like & or > in xml text? For example I store a small xml file containing list of organisations. Many names have an "&" in the name as in brian & turner. so the xml noad will be <orgname> brian & turner </orgname> But I know this won't work directly.
Yes it does. There's nothing you have to do, just put in the text and ElementTree will handle it.
my code naturally fails when I try to insert such data.
You may want to show us your code then. Please provide a code snippet that shows the problem and present the output you get as well as the output you expected.
