Re: [lxml] possible bug: parse() and fromstring() have different results

Basically, I would expect ET.parse(StringIO(test_string)) and ET.fromstring(test_string) to return the same data. Instead, parse() returns an ElementTree, and fromstring() returns an Element. ---- from StringIO import StringIO from lxml import etree as ET test_string = """<root>data</root>""" tree1 = ET.parse(StringIO(test_string)) tree2 = ET.fromstring(test_string) print ET.tostring(tree1), type(tree1) print ET.tostring(tree2), type(tree2) ---- Output: <root>data</root> <root>data</root>
