And that succeeds fine. Your problem lies elsewhere.

In future, please copy and paste (do NOT retype, simplify or summarize)
the full traceback you get, not just the error message.
In this case, I *think* I can *guess* your error, based on the error
message alone, but I could be completely off-base. But my guess is that
you need:
bb = etree.Element(self.get_time())
rather than:
bb = etree.Element(self.get_time)
The later tries to insert a method get_time into the element tree. You
need to call the method by putting brackets () after it.
