New submission from Einar Fløystad Dørum:
The tostringlist documentation says "Returns a list of (optionally) encoded
strings containing the XML data. It does not guarantee any specific sequence,
except that "".join(tostringlist(element)) == tostring(element).".
But in reality it is possible to get tostringlist to return a string and not a
list.
The following code will demonstrates problem, by failing with a TypeError:
from xml.etree.ElementTree import Element, tostringlist, tostring
element = Element("foo")
print ("".join(tostringlist(element)) == tostring(element))
