[issue28237] In xml.etree.ElementTree bytes tag or attributes raises on serialization

[Stefan Behnel]

Stefan Behnel <stefan_ml at behnel.de> added the comment:

Arguably, writing out "b'x'" as attribute name instead of raising an exception isn't ideal. However, OTOH, I think it's reasonable to accept anything that is serialisable as a string, not just strings. That makes it difficult to draw a line.

In any case, it's ok for ElementTree to not allow bytes in general.

I'll close this issue, because I don't think it's worth being called a bug.
