Package: python-lxml
Version: 1.0.1-2
Severity: normal
Hello,
Here is a transcript of a session using python-lxml, the bug is quite
obvious:
In [1]:import lxml.etree
In [2]:doctree = lxml.etree.parse(file('/tmp/test.xml'))
In [3]:for tag in doctree.xpath('/tags/*'):
.3.:print tag.attrib['tag'], tag.attrib['count']
.3.:
... lot of output
In [4]:toto = file('/tmp/test.xml').read()
In [5]:import StringIO
In [6]:lxml.etree.parse(StringIO.StringIO(toto))

Obviously there should not be any problem when parsing a file through
the StringIO interface if there is no problem parsing the same file
through the file interface.
Since the same beahavior happens with cStringIO I suppose this bug is
related to python-lxml.
