So maybe you want to flex your lxml muscles - otherwise, if you prefer I could probably come up with a PR myself (though not in the next 5 weeks). I'd need to know if keeping existing behaviour is a must due to compatibility reasons (i.e. make the change opt-in) or if breaking current behavior would be ok in this case (maybe with an opt-out). The obvious thing that comes to mind is restricting the incoming literal using some regex, but maybe it's better to rip some toned-down int parsing from CPython? I haven't looked.

xml declaration quotes
by Gergely K. 07 Aug '21

Hi all! In my project I generate an xml file, which is autoformatted with an external tool. However, the external tool uses a different quote for the xml declaration. lxml with the code tree.write( os.path.join(project_dir, 'artifact.xml'), pretty_print=True, xml_declaration=True, encoding='utf-8') produces <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> but the external tool autoformats it to: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> Is it possible to change the quoting of the generated xml declaration? thanks
