* bpo-39011: Preserve line endings within attributes
Line endings within attributes were previously normalized to "\n" in Py3.7/3.8.
This patch removes that normalization, as line endings which were
replaced by entity numbers should be preserved in original form.
* Implement C14N 2.0 as a new canonicalize() function in ElementTree.
Missing features:
- prefix renaming in XPath expressions (tag and attribute text is supported)
- preservation of original prefixes given redundant namespace declarations
* bpo-36673: Implement comment/PI parsing support for the TreeBuilder in ElementTree.
* bpo-36673: Rewrite the comment/PI factory handling for the TreeBuilder in "_elementtree" to make it use the same factories as the ElementTree module, and to make it explicit when the comments/PIs are inserted into the tree and when they are not (which is the default).
Add new keyword arguments "default_namespace" and "xml_declaration" to functions ET.tostring() and ET.tostringlist(), as known from ElementTree.write().
It is now guarantied that children of xml.etree.ElementTree.Element
are Elements (at least in C implementation). Previously methods
__setitem__(), __setstate__() and __deepcopy__() could be used for
adding non-Element children.
* Fix multiple typos in code comments
* Add spacing in comments (test_logging.py, test_math.py)
* Fix spaces at the beginning of comments in test_logging.py
Element.getiterator() and the html parameter of XMLParser() were
deprecated only in the documentation (since Python 3.2 and 3.4 correspondintly).
Now using them emits a deprecation warning.
* Don’t need check_warnings any more.
I was confused by the text saying that read_events "iterated", since it
actually returns an iterator (that's what a generator does) that the
caller must then iterate. So I tidied up the language. I'm not sure
what the sentence "Events provided in a previous call to read_events()
will not be yielded again." is trying to convey, so I didn't try to fix that.
Also fixed a couple more news items.
- this was an internal implementation detail for iterparse
- this has been changed to use a new private method instead
- XMLPullParser.close docs are now more explicit about not
returning a root element and instead direct users towards
read_events
- also added missing docstrings and clarified some details
related to exactly *when* events are consumed from the
internal queue
(Initial patch by Stefan Behnel)
The new names are hopefully more descriptive and consistent. If you feel you
don't agree with this change, *please* read issue 17741 first - there's a lot of
discussion in there.
