[lxml-dev] Serialization to file does not report error

[Frédéric Mantegazza]

I use the following code to serialize a tree to a file:

tree.write(self.__fileName, pretty_print=True, xml_declaration=True)

if the file pointed by self.__fileName is not writable (not owned by the 
current user), the call silently exits, but the file is not written. I have 
to use:

file_ = file(self.__fileName, 'w')
tree.write(file_, pretty_print=True, xml_declaration=True)
file_.close()

to catch en exception in this case.

I'm using lxml 1.1.1; this is an old version (from debian etch), and it 
might have been corrected in new release...
