[New-bugs-announce] [issue11367] xml.etree.ElementTree.find(all): docs are wrong

[anatoly techtonik]

New submission from anatoly techtonik <techtonik at gmail.com>:

ElementTree.find(path) docs say:

"Finds the first toplevel element with given tag. Same as getroot().find(path). path is the element to look for."

That's not true. path can take the form of "//tag" to find any child element with given tag, not strictly top level.
