* Fix the formatting in the documentation of the tostring() functions.
* bpo-34160: Document that the tostring() and tostringlist() functions also preserve the attribute order now.
* bpo-34160: Add an explanation of how users should deal with the attribute order.
(cherry picked from commit a3697db010)
Co-authored-by: Stefan Behnel <stefan_ml@behnel.de>
* 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().
* Use explicit numbering for footnotes referred by explicit number.
* Restore missed footnote reference in stdtypes.rst.
* Fix literal strings formatting in howto/urllib2.rst.
* Update susp-ignored.csv for zipapp.rst.
* Fix suspicious mark up in Misc/NEWS.
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.
Also added versionadded for for fish/csh, fixed indentation of versionadded
for ElementTree.write, and make the behavior of shelf as a context manager
explicit in the docs.
- 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.
Using ``method`` markup because the method is on a callback object, not an
explicitly documented method. :meth: markup creates links within the current
class which is incorrect.
In addition, indent the paragraph correctly.
The return value of close() is not always a toplevel element. It depends on
what the underlying target returns. By default, TreeBuilder returns the
toplevel document element.
