The way I see it, most projects actually ship their own in-tree copy of ElementTree (e.g. smart does). So, most of the stuff should be alright -- or needs to be "ported" to 2.5's xml.etree anyways. So, for now, I'd suggest we stick with the current sitation -- without python-elementtree. If it turns out, there is actual demand for it, we will have to reconsider. In either case, many thanks for bringing this up! Best, Christoph -- Christoph Thiel, Tech.
