New submission from Serhiy Storchaka <storch...@gmail.com>:
Minidom can parse ASCII-encoded XML data, but can't create it.
>>> from xml.dom.minidom import parseString
>>> doc = parseString(b'<?xml version="1.0"
>>> encoding="us-ascii"?><foo>€</foo>')
>>> doc.toxml('us-ascii')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/home/serhiy/py/cpython/Lib/xml/dom/minidom.py", line 47, in toxml
return self.toprettyxml("", "", encoding)

self.writexml(writer, "", indent, newl, encoding)

writer.write(data)

data, consumed = self.encode(object, self.errors)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\u20ac' in position
0: ordinal not in range(128)
Same for other non-unicode encodings.
Suggested simple patch solves this issue.
