I disagree with this report being classified as release-critical - it is not a regression over 3.0 (i.e. 3.0 already behaved in the same way). That it is a regression relative to 2.x should not make it release-critical - we can still fix such regressions in 3.2. In addition, there is an easy work-around for applications that run into the problem - just use utf-8 as the output encoding always: py> e = ET.XML(b"<?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1'?><body>t\xe3t</body>") py> ET.tostring(e,encoding='utf-8') b'<body>t\xc3\xa3t</body>'

*not* a regression over 3.0 (i.e. 3.0 already behaved in the same way).
