[New-bugs-announce] [issue17988] ElementTree.Element != ElementTree._ElementInterface

[Jakub Wilk]

New submission from Jakub Wilk:

The xml.etree.ElementTree module provides _Element and _ElementInterface as compatibility aliases for Element. However, in Python 3.3 if the _elementtree module is importable, these classes are not identical: Element is a C implementation, and _Element/_ElementInterface is a Python implementation.
