Hi,

etree.parse("""<xml sanitizer="true" sanitizer:value="true"/>""")
lxml.etree.XMLSyntaxError: Namespace prefix sanitizer for value on xml is not defined, line 1, column 31
You can use a parser that is up to the task: >>> parser = etree.XMLParser(recover=True)
root = etree.fromstring("""<xml sanitizer="true" sanitizer:value="true"/>""", parser=parser) print root <Element xml at 268930> print etree.tostring(root) <xml sanitizer="true" value="true"/>
Please take a look at help(etree.XMLParser):
