[New-bugs-announce] [issue6272] Upgrading xml.etree to ElementTree 1.3

[Senthil]

New submission from Senthil <orsenthil at gmail.com>:

The current ElementTree package shipped with Python is ElementTree 1.2.6.
ElementTree 1.3 has certain good features in handing XPaths which would
be a nice addition to the default xml.etree.

I don't know why ElementTree 1.2.6 was chosen initially.
I don't find any request for the upgrade.

So opening this one.
