I don't follow all the implications of this thread, but I thought I should
mention that in python3, unicode and str are identical. If you pass 'bytes'
into etree.fromstring, you get bytes back. If you pass 'str' into
etree.fromstring, you get a (unicode) string back.
Here is your previous example run using python 3.2 -
This one uses bytes (note the 'b' at the front of the string) -
>>> a = etree.fromstring(b'<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8"?><root><child>da
ta</child></root>')
>>> a[0].text
'data'
>>> a = etree.fromstring(b'<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8"?><root><child>da
ta\u00e7</child></root>')
>>> a[0].text
'data\\u00e7'
This one uses unicode, so no 'encoding' is needed (it raises an error if you
try) -
>>> a = etree.fromstring('<?xml
version="1.0"?><root><child>data</child></root>')
>>> a[0].text
'data'
>>> a = etree.fromstring('<?xml
version="1.0"?><root><child>data\u00e7</child></
root>')
>>> a[0].text
'dataç'
>>>
I don't know if this is important, but I thought I should point it out.
