[New-bugs-announce] [issue4997] xml.sax.saxutils.XMLGenerator should write to io.RawIOBase.

[HiroakiKawai]

New submission from HiroakiKawai <kawai at apache.org>:

xml.sax.saxutils.XMLGenerator._write tests the argument by 
isinstance(text, str), but this is problematic in Python 3.0. 
XMLGenerator accepts encoding and the produced file is encoded by that 
encoding, i.e., the XML is a binary sequence. So IMHO, the XMLGenerator 
constructor argument should be a subclass of io.RawIOBase.
