[lxml-dev] Bug with whitespace in namespaces

[Christian Zagrodnick]

Hoi,

it is possible to create invalid XML with lxml:

>>> import lxml.etree
>>> import lxml.objectify
>>> xml = lxml.objectify.XML('<a/>')
>>> xml.set('{a b}c', 'foo')             # This should fail!
>>> lxml.etree.tostring(xml)
'<a xmlns:ns0="a b" ns0:c="foo"/>'
>>> lxml.objectify.fromstring(lxml.etree.tostring(xml))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
  File "parser.pxi", line 625, in lxml.etree._handleParseResult 
(src/lxml/lxml.etree.c:64741)
  File "parser.pxi", line 565, in lxml.etree._raiseParseError 
(src/lxml/lxml.etree.c:64084)
lxml.etree.XMLSyntaxError: xmlns:ns0: 'a b' is not a valid URI, line 1, 
column 13
>>>
