New submission from Wansoo Kim <rladhks...@gmail.com>:
Using the name of the built-in function as a variable can cause unexpected
problems.
```
# example
type = 'Hello'
...
type('Happy')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'str' object is not callable
```
You can go back without any problems right now, but you may have problems later
when others make corrections.
This code can be returned without any problems right now, but it may cause
problems later when others make a change.
In the Lib/xml/etree function/_default, assign a value for the type.
```
...
type = self._doctype[1]
if type == "PUBLIC" and n == 4:
name, type, pubis, system = self._doctype
...
```
