I can't say how ElementTree works without more checking, but this solution cannot work in general. Given a pointer to an object that's in a list, how would you get to the next item? Say the parent list-like object has a C array of pointers to the objects it contains, and removing one of the objects re-shuffles that list. How would keeping a pointer to the current object help you? In any event, I don't think this behavior is going to change. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41892> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
