Both the normal parser example and the objectify example you gave me
give a traceback as follows:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "\\clippy\xml_parser2.py", line 70, in -toplevel-
for row in tree.iterfind("//Row"):
AttributeError: 'etree._ElementTree' object has no attribute
'iterfind'
Is there some kind of newer version of lxml?
