The current documentation of etree [1] does not explain the syntax of the supported xpaths. [1] current documation: http://docs.python.org/lib/elementtree-elementtree-objects.html [2] ElementTree supported XPath: http://effbot.org/zone/element-xpath.htm It would be very nice to have some simple examples for myetree.find(xpath).

Shouldn't this be assigned to docs@python ?

Here's a patch for 3.2 with some simple examples. They're under the ElementTree findall method. Maybe there should be similar examples for Element's find/findall methods?

There's another issue about lack of documentation on this topic. See #6488 .
