[New-bugs-announce] [issue18850] xml.etree.ElementTree accepts control chars.

[Michele Orrù]

New submission from Michele Orrù:

Got from irc; 
<JerryKwan> python bug in xml.etree.ElementTree, from version 2.7 to 3.2 http://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/1l6cta/python_bug_in_xmletreeelementtree/

I think we should keep consistency with lxml and forbid control chars in advance.

Attaching the test file proving the issue, slightly modified to work on 2.7 and 3.x
