New submission from Einar Fløystad Dørum:
The xml.etree.ElementTree.Element class is no longer pickleable in Python
3.3.0rc3 .
This is a regression from Python 3.2 where the Element class was pickleable,
while the xml.etree.cElementTree.Element was not. So this is probably related
to switching the ElementTree implementation in Python 3.3.
I've looked at the "what's new" documentation in Python 3.3, and there was
nothing that indicated that the ElemenTree switchover would give this kind of
issues.
I've run into this issues because I use the multiprocessing module to pass
parsed XML documents between processes, and when I can't pickle Element
objects. This stops working.
You can reproduce the issue with the following code:
import pickle
from xml.etree.ElementTree import Element
print(pickle.dumps(Element("foo")))
