G'day, While translating my software to french, I realised that minidom's writexml method doesn't handle "encoding" parameter correctly: it changes the header of the resulting xml, but not the encoding itself (which it should according to the documentation: http://docs.python.org/library/xml.dom.minidom.html). The given example doesn't work with writexml; but if I save by myself using the toxml's encoding parameter (like in the commented line), it works as expected. Anyway, it would be better if minidom could handle unicode string directly. |

The documentation is incorrect; writexml does not support an encoding parameter. Only Document nodes support the encoding parameter in writexml, and it is intentional that its only effect is to fill out the XML declaration. I don't understand the last sentence in your report: what is it that you want to see supported, and how is that related to this issue? |

Thanks for your quick reply The last sentence has nothing to do with the report, it was just a general remark that it would be nice if minidom could support unicode string directly. Should I send a mail to docs@python.org to report the doc issue, or this one is sufficient ? |

All element names, attribute names, and text nodes carry Unicode objects. > Should I send a mail to docs@python.org to report the doc issue, > or this one is sufficient ? This one is sufficient. |
