Mark Summerfield <m...@qtrac.eu> added the comment: Perhaps a useful compromise would be to add an "encoding" attribute that is set to the encoding of the XML file that's read in (and with a default of "ascii").
That way it would be possible to preserve the encoding, e.g.: import xml.etree.ElementTree as etree xml_tree = etree.ElementTree(in_filehandle) # process the tree xml_tree.write(out_filehandle, encoding=xml_tree.encoding) ---------- _______________________________________ 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
