I'm sorry, where is that? I can't find it either at http://effbot.org/zone/pythondoc-elementtree-ElementTree.htm#elementtree.ElementTree.tostring-function or http://effbot.org/zone/pythondoc-elementtree-ElementTree.htm#elementtree.ElementTree.ElementTree.write-method > I suggest dropping this "Python 3 exists in its own universe" > nonsense; it's not very professional, and it's hurting Python, its > users, and all third party developers. Ha. There has been a very long temporal window (until 3.1, probably) during which things were very much in flux and anyone with a professional knowledge of elementtree and XML APIs could chime in and point out any nonsense in py3k. Now Python 3.1 is out and as a result py3k also has to ensure upwards compatibility for its own APIs. Of course we can still make exceptions if the alleged breakage is truly major. To me, it doesn't /seem/ to be the case here. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8047> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
