…text (pythonGH-156734) ElementTree.parse() with a text file mis-decoded the text in the C implementation: _parse_whole() encoded it as UTF-8, but left expat to honor the encoding declared in the document. It now overrides the encoding, as XMLParser.feed() already does for str data. (cherry picked from commit c83013c)
