Issue 9958: (c)elementTree missing children (original) (raw)

Hi, I found that parsing XML file with identical structure leads to missing children item at some point. In my test case which I attach it happens at id=183. Basically I have XML with bunch of elements of the following structure:

when I parse them recursively, all, except the one with id=183, are parsed identically. The one with id=183 does not contain children. I tried the code with python 2.6 and python 2.7 on Mac and Linux. Bug exists in both version of ElementTree and cElementTree. Code and testbed XML are attached. Please untar and run as python test_bug.py. Thanks, Valentin
