bpo-37374: Do not escape quotes in minidom inside text segments #14312
Conversation

Hi and thank you for the pull request. |

Yes, I tested by running: from xml.etree import ElementTree
text = ElementTree.Element('text')
text.text = 'f&oo"b<a>r'
xml_string = ElementTree.tostring(text)
import xml.dom.minidom as minidom
xml_tree = minidom.parseString(xml_string)
output = xml_tree.toprettyxml(indent=' ')
assert output.splitlines()[1] == xml_string.decode('utf8')
print(output)which now returns: I also ran whole Python test suite. |

Perhaps you should provide it in the test_xml module. |
|
You are right. I should add the test. This PR in fact makes minidom behave exactly the same as |

I have added tests. |

We should not rely on an unrelated library providing the same text string serialisation. Instead, the test should use a plain string to compare against. Otherwise, changes in ElementTree could make this test fail without need.

I haven't checked deeply, but my gut feeling would prefer a special case for attribute values, not for text content. Can't say if that's similarly easy to achieve.
