New submission from Joshua Biagio:
There seems to be a very minor bug in the ElementTree.py file, for the
so-called 'empty' elements that are serialized without a closing tag. The
HTML_EMPTY tuple/set is used to lookup these tags.
In the Lib/xml/etree/ElementTree.py file, the HTML_EMPTY tuple is created like:
HTML_EMPTY = ("area", "base", "basefont", "br", "col", "frame", "hr",
"img", "input", "isindex", "link", "meta" "param")
There is a missing comma between "meta" and "param". I'm not sure if this is
intended behavior.
The line should be replaced with:
HTML_EMPTY = ("area", "base", "basefont", "br", "col", "frame", "hr",
"img", "input", "isindex", "link", "meta", "param")
