ElementTree and utf-16 encoding

[=?iso-8859-1?q?S=E9bastien_Boisg=E9rault?=]

Hi,

ET being ElementTree in the following code, could anyone explain
why it fails ?
Traceback (most recent call last):
....
xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: encoding specified in XML declaration is
incorrect: line 1, column 30

I s it related to the lack of BOM in the xml string ?
I tried to add some "\xff\xfe" or "\xfe\xff" at the start of the xml
string without much sucess with fromstring so far ...

Cheers,

SB

I'm afraid the standard serializer in 1.2 only supports ASCII-compatible
encodings. this will be fixed in 1.3.

as a workaround, you can do:

tostring(elem).decode("utf-8").encode("utf-16")

</F>
