[New-bugs-announce] [issue34739] Get rid of tp_getattro in xml.etree.ElementTree.XMLParser

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpython at gmail.com>:

Currently xml.etree.ElementTree.XMLParser has the tp_getattro slot for handling some attributes. The proposed PR replaces it with tp_members and tp_getset.

Benefits: constant time access, names of these attributes are added to the result of dir() and help(), better structured code.
