[New-bugs-announce] [issue15083] Rewrite ElementTree tests in a cleaner and safer way

[Eli Bendersky]

New submission from Eli Bendersky <eliben at gmail.com>:

As #15075 demonstrated, the ET tests are sensitive to execution order because of the way they operate.

Two sets of tests (one for the C module and one for the pure Python module) operate from the same test code, monkey-patching the imported module. This sometimes breaks. A more robust solution is needed that is completely deterministic and does not rely on import artifacts.
