[lxml-dev] Simple doctypes not in docinfo.doctype

Hallo list I've hit a snag with lxml and a DOCTYPE decleration. I don't know if I'm to blame here, but would appreciate help either way. I've tried this with an old (1.3.2) and newer (2.0.6) lxml version. (this example is roughly based on the code at http://codespeak.net/lxml/tutorial.html) from lxml import etree from StringIO import StringIO tree = etree.parse(StringIO("""<!DOCTYPE TS><TS></TS>""")) tree.docinfo.doctype ''
Any help will be appreciated. Keep well Friedel -- Recently on my blog: http://translate.org.za/blogs/friedel/en/content/vrot-mango

I agree that better handling is desirable here. Could you file a bug report so that this doesn't get lost? (and so that you get notified on any further development). https://bugs.launchpad.net/lxml If you want to give it a try yourself, the DOCTYPE writing code is in src/lxml/serializer.pxi, function _writeDtdToBuffer(), the docinfo code is in lxml.etree.pyx, class DocInfo. Patches and test cases (src/lxml/tests/test_etree.py) are welcome. Thanks, Stefan

Thank you Stefan! I haven't even gotten round to the bug report yet, and you already have it fixed! At the time I implemented a workaround, but I hope to test this issue with your proper fix soon.
