Hi list, I think ElementTree.fromstring expects a raw string as argument but the current lxml.etree.XML calls .encode("UTF-8") on it which is not nice if it's already an utf8 encoded string. Hence the patch. I'm not sure what should be expected though. If you guys have a clue :) I can write more tests with various encoded strings and unicode object as arg and try to compare ElementTree's behaviour with lxml's to better reproduce it in lxml. Just tell me if it's useful/required. Best, -- Olivier
