[New-bugs-announce] [issue31303] xml.etree.ElementTree fails to parse a document (regression)

[Vyacheslav Rafalskiy]

New submission from Vyacheslav Rafalskiy:

In Python 3.5.4 and 3.6.2, both on Windows and Linux, parsing a manifestly correct xml file like:

xml.etree.ElementTree.parse('bad_file.xml')

raises:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 1023: invalid continuation byte

Any other Python version I tried works fine, including 2.7.13, 3.5.2 ...
