[issue38742] ElementTree won't parse comments before root element

[yucheng chen]

New submission from yucheng chen :

issue8277
It couldn't work for those comments before the root element. 
It will raise an error that "xml.etree.ElementTree.ParseError: multiple 
elements on top level". 

Example:

test.xml




  
  
  


test.py
---
from xml.etree import ElementTree
class MyTreeBuilder(ElementTree.TreeBuilder):
   def comment(self, data):
   self.start(ElementTree.Comment, {})
   self.data(data)
   self.end(ElementTree.Comment)
with open('c:/temp/t.xml', 'r') as f:
   xml = ElementTree.parse(
   f, parser=ElementTree.XMLParser(target=MyTreeBuilder()))
ElementTree.dump(xml)
