Bug report
Bug description:
Granted the register_namespace() functionality should be used for 'well known namespace prefixes' but if the the default namespace prefix ("") is registered, the following issues can occur:
Duplicate default namespace attrs xmlns=''
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
ET.register_namespace("", "default")
e = ET.Element("{default}elem")
print(ET.tostring(e, default_namespace="otherdefault"))
# b'<elem xmlns="otherdefault" xmlns="default" />'
Incorrect serialisation (the noPrefixElem should raise an error but now it looks like it is in the default namespace):
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
ET.register_namespace("", "default")
e = ET.Element("{default}elem")
ET.SubElement(e, "noPrefixElem")
print(ET.tostring(e))
# b'<elem xmlns="default"><noPrefixElem /></elem>'
The two approaches to address this that I can think of are:
- Raise an error if the default namespace is passed to
register_namespace()- Lucky users that register
""but don't use the default prefix's URI anywhere or has every element qualified will have working code with no issues. This would cause their working code to break.
- Lucky users that register
- Handle it properly in
ElementTree._namespaces()by setting the default_namespace var in that function from the global registry if thedefault_namespaceargument isNone- Existing code that 'works' may raise errors about
ValueError: cannot use non-qualified names with default_namespace option, but at least erroneous xml would no longer be emitted - It may be possible to make it so code that was luckily unaffected still doesn't raise an error
- May result in #61290
- Existing code that 'works' may raise errors about
I'm happy to give the second option a try (with implementing any changes required for #61290) as I've also been looking into #57587 that also needs to handle potentially multiple definitions of the default_namespace. My current thinking is that if default_namespace is provided to _namespaces(), it takes precedence even if the default namespace is also defined in the global registry.

研究方向
先從 xml.etree.ElementTree.register_namespace()、ElementTree._namespaces() 和 ET.tostring() 開始,然後重現 issue 中的兩個範例。在選擇預設命名空間的優先順序之前,檢視連結的 PR gh-118417 以及相關的命名空間行為。完成的標準是序列化不再輸出重複宣告,也不再默默地將未限定元素視為屬於預設命名空間。
