In lxml, there was an "encoding=unicode" option that would let the XML/HTML/text serialisation function return a Unicode string. This was eventually deprecated in favour of "encoding='unicode'" when ElementTree gained this feature as well some years later.
That's this issue: http://bugs.python.org/issue8047
The thread also suggests the options encoding=False and encoding=None
Considering ET uses encoding="unicode" to signal 'don't encode', I agree with you that using encoding="bytes" to signal 'don't encode' would be sensible. However, ET /also/ allows encoding=str.What about allowing both encoding="bytes" /and/ encoding=bytes?
Best, Merlijn
