Incorrect HTML for empty <script> tags

[asouchang]

The following python code generates incorrect HTML code for empty script tags.

print PyQuery('<script></script>')

The expected output is exactly the input string. However, the actual output is

<script/>

Testing Environment:
OS: Mac OS X 10.10
Python: 2.7.6 (shipped with OS)
PyQuery: 1.2.9 (installed from pip)

I've got the same problem.

I tested the latest version on github. It is still failed.

Actually, I think it is due to lxml.

I tried

    PyQuery("<div></div>")    # output: <div/>

For user, it may be a bug.

A trick is that you can insert some useless js into the script tag to make it works correctly, like

    <script> var __pyquery = 0;</script>

doc = PyQuery('<script></script>')
print doc.outer_html()

works well

Even if this bug/conversation seems dead:

PyQuery('<script></script>').html() should not be equal to <script></script>, but it should (and it is) an empty string. This is because html() look for child html.

If you write something like PyQuery('<div><script></script></div>').html() you should have <script></script> as response, but PyQuery will give you <script/>.

This is not a bug, due to help(PyQuery.html):

...
>>> d = PyQuery('<div><span></span></div>')
>>> print(d.html())
<span/>
>>> print(d.html(method='html'))
<span></span>
