the xml/__init__.py file contains a cute little hack that overrides
the *entire* xml subtree with stuff from PyXML, if available.
the code basically does
import _xmlplus
sys.modules[__name__] = _xmlplus
(exception handling and version checks not shown).
however, this means that as things are right now, xml.etree will
simply disappear if the user has PyXML on the machine.
what's the best way to fix this? the obvious fix is of course to do
something like
import _xmlplus
import xml.etree
_xmlplus.etree = xml.etree
sys.modules[__name__] = _xmlplus
but I have to admit that I'm no expert on package internals, so I
might be missing something here. will the above solution work in
all cases? is there some better way to do it?
