[Python-Dev] XML codec?

["Martin v. Löwis"]

> ci = codecs.lookup("xml-auto-detect")
> p = expat.ParserCreate()
> e = "utf-32"
> s = (u"<?xml version='1.0' encoding=%r?><foo/>" % e).encode(e)
> s = ci.encode(ci.decode(s)[0], encoding="utf-8")[0]
> p.Parse(s, True)

So how come the document being parsed is recognized as UTF-8?

I don't see the need for C code at all.
