Summary

Configure the existing XML backend as UTF-8 when the initial Parse input is str, ignoring its encoding declaration. Previously UTF-8 bytes from Python strings were decoded according to that declaration, corrupting text such as £€.
Match CPython 3.15's XML_SetEncoding("utf-8") for Unicode input. Like Expat, once parsing starts, later string input cannot change the encoding. Empty initial byte/string chunks and mixed inputs are regression-tested.
Enable two SAX tests and one ElementTree test. No new persistent state, decoder, or intermediate transcoding is added.

Directly based on main, independent of #9662's DTD handling and #9784's error-position aliases. This does not fix the separate unsupported byte encodings or ParserCreate(encoding=...) implementation.

Validation

Release -m test test_sax test_xml_etree: 418 tests, success; 37 existing expected failures and one skip remain.
CPython 3.15.1: the three restored tests pass.
CPython/RustPython pytest -v test_snippets.py -k stdlib_pyexpat: both pass, including mixed-input regressions.
Workspace Rust tests and separate CAPI tests.
Strict workspace/all-target and separate CAPI Clippy (-D warnings).
Repository pre-commit hooks.
This PR follows the AI policy. Assisted by OpenAI Codex (model version not exposed by this runtime); disclosed in the commit trailer.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Improved XML parsing for text input with encoding declarations, including declarations that specify unsupported encodings.
- Corrected incremental parsing when text and byte input are mixed across chunks, so parsed character data is handled consistently.
- XML file parsing continues to use the encoding information provided by the file rather than treating file contents as Unicode text.

Sorry, something went wrong.

Walkthrough

The parser passes input type from Parse to backend configuration. Unicode input selects UTF-8 and ignores invalid encoding declarations. Byte-like input and ParseFile use the default encoding configuration. Tests cover encoding declarations and incremental input chunks.

Changes: pyexpat Input Encoding

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Configure encoding from input type `crates/stdlib/src/pyexpat.rs`, `extra_tests/snippets/stdlib_pyexpat.py`	`Parse` passes whether its input is a string through the feed path to backend configuration. Unicode input selects UTF-8 and ignores invalid encoding declarations. Byte-like input and `ParseFile` use the default encoding configuration. Tests cover encoding declarations and mixed input chunks.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Possibly related issues

Upgrade Python libraries and test from Python 3.14 #6839 — The input handling and tests align with the issue’s stated pyexpat compatibility and test-migration objectives.

Possibly related PRs

RustPython/RustPython#9662 — Both changes affect how Parse input reaches the XML backend, including byte-input handling.

          Parse Unicode XML input as UTF-8

bd543f9

Select UTF-8 for an initial str feed and ignore its encoding declaration, as CPython does with XML_SetEncoding. Preserve the initial encoding for subsequent feeds, including mixed bytes/str input. Enable three SAX and ElementTree regression tests.
