New submission from Gordon P. Hemsley <gphems...@gphemsley.org>: Currently, the Python implementation of the Element class in xml.etree.ElementTree defines a method called copy() which the C implementation does not define, whereas the C implementation defines a __copy__() method (and a __deepcopy__() method) which the Python implementation does not define.
Given that the documentation makes no mention of a copy() method and that its definition would be masked by a standard import of xml.etree.ElementTree, I propose that it be renamed to __copy__() so that copy.copy() can make use of it. ---------- components: Library (Lib), XML messages: 309010 nosy: eli.bendersky, gphemsley, scoder priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Rename copy() to __copy__() in xml.etree.ElementTree.Element Python implementation type: behavior versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32424> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
