[issue17915] Encoding error with sax and codecs

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor added the comment:

Extracted test from report.txt. Test with Python 3.4:

$ ./python test_codecs.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test_codecs.py", line 7, in <module>
    xml.startDocument()
  File "/home/haypo/prog/python/default/Lib/xml/sax/saxutils.py", line 148, in startDocument
    self._encoding)
  File "/home/haypo/prog/python/default/Lib/codecs.py", line 699, in write
    return self.writer.write(data)
  File "/home/haypo/prog/python/default/Lib/codecs.py", line 355, in write
    data, consumed = self.encode(object, self.errors)
TypeError: Can't convert 'bytes' object to str implicitly

_gettextwriter() of xml.sax.saxutils does not recognize codecs classes. (See also the PEP 400 :-)).
