Too bad you can't do 1 and for 2 add ``import _elementtree as cElementTree`` in etree/__init__.py . Unless I am missing something it won't work since ``import xml.etree.cElementTree`` will fail. Since the way you outlined is the standard way to do it in the stdlib I doubt anyone has thought of a better way. -Brett _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
