[docs] [issue10942] xml.etree.ElementTree.tostring returns type bytes, expected type str

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

For now the documentation explains the resulting type of tostring().

https://docs.python.org/3/library/xml.etree.elementtree.html#xml.etree.ElementTree.tostring
"""
Generates a string representation of an XML element, including all subelements. element is an Element instance. encoding [1] is the output encoding (default is US-ASCII). Use encoding="unicode" to generate a Unicode string (otherwise, a bytestring is generated). method is either "xml", "html" or "text" (default is "xml").
"""

Looks as this issue can be closed.
