[New-bugs-announce] [issue40086] test_etree is skipped in test_typing due to cElementTree removal

[Karthikeyan Singaravelan]

New submission from Karthikeyan Singaravelan <tir.karthi at gmail.com>:

Currently, test_etree has a Python 2 shim importing cElementTree and skipping the test on ImportError. Since cElementTree was deprecated and removed in Python 3 with 36543. So this test is now skipped. The fix would be to remove the shim and import Element from xml.etree.ElementTree. This is a good beginner issue. Test log as below : 

./python -m test test_typing -m test_etree -vvv
