In 3.3, "import xml.etree.ElementTree" will automatically use the _elementtree accelerator, if available, and will fall back to a Python implementation otherwise. The documentation of ElementTree has also been updated to reflect this fact.<br>
</div></blockquote><div><br>An open question remains on whether to deprecate cElementTree, now that this change is in place. <br><br>Currently in 3.3 the whole cElementTree module is:<br><br> # Deprecated alias for xml.etree.ElementTree<br>
<br> from xml.etree.ElementTree import *<br><br>Would it be alright to issue a DeprecationWarning if this module is imported? Then hopefully a couple of releases after 3.3 we can just dump it.<br><br>Eli<br><br> <br></div>
