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.
