Eli Bendersky <eli...@gmail.com> added the comment: Hi Leon, Thanks for the patch.
I suggest to start by raising this to the python-ideas mailing list, to see if anyone has objections / different idea about doing this. Next, keep in mind that starting with 3.3, the default ElementTree implementation comes from the C accelerator Modules/_elementtree.c, and compatibility between the Python and C implementations becomes important. Therefore, each such change has to be added to both implementations. Is your patch done in a common section, or just the Python implementation? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14078> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
