The problem with this is the bootstrap Python code executed by _elementtree. That should not be executed when _elementtree (the C parts) can't be imported. Keeping this code in ElementTree will probably complicate matters since it will add import conditions. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13988> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
