Control: severity -1 serious
The bug makes the package FTBFS, so I bumped severity.
The most likely cause is the 2to3 conversion of the test. The original code
alreaydy differs between 2 and 3:
if sys.version_info < (3,):
self.assertEqual(str(element), '<Element mark="\\u2022"/>')
else:
self.assertEqual(str(element), '<Element mark="\u2022"/>')
The last line should have probably been:
self.assertEqual(str(element), u'<Element mark="\u2022"/>')
But in test3/, 2to3 mangles this to
if sys.version_info < (3,):
self.assertEqual(str(element), '<Element mark="\\u2022"/>')
else:
self.assertEqual(str(element), '<Element mark="\\u2022"/>')
...then it would be correctly converted to:
self.assertEqual(str(element), '<Element mark="\u2022"/>')
In the past it worked only by accident, due to a bug:
