[issue5752] xml.dom.minidom does not escape CR, LF and TAB characters within attribute values

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc added the comment:

minidom may be broken, but what's the issue with ElementTree?

>>> import xml.etree.cElementTree as etree
>>> doc = etree.fromstring('<xml />')
>>> doc.set('attr', "multiline\nvalue")
>>> etree.tostring(doc)
'<xml attr="multiline
value" />'
