I don't know if it's a bug? Try below code: >>> from elementtree.ElementTree import Element >>> a = Element('a') >>> if a: ... print 'hhhh' ... >>> a.__len__() 0
You can see if I test a, the result will be False. I don't know if it's an expected result, but this thing has beaten me some times. -- I like python!
