Some questions:
* Are you going to contribute cElementTree as well ? yes, but there are some build issues we need to sort out first (both pyexpat and cET link to their own copies of expat)
Great !
we also need to figure out how to import the bundled version; should it be cElementTree, xml.etree.cElementTree, or just xml.etree.ElementTree (which would then fallback on the Python version if cElementTree isn't built) ?
If the semantics are identical I'd prefer the latter approach of using the faster variant if possible.
* What was the motivation to not include the whole ElementTree package ? this is a perfect time to get rid of some little-used stuff. if there's enough user demand, we can always add a few more modules before 2.5 goes out of the door...
Ok.
* I'm missing the usual "Licensed to PSF under a Contributor Agreement." in the copyright notices of the files:
http://www.python.org/psf/contrib.html I assume that you'll add these, right ? will fix. * How should users that want to use the latest and greatest (more recent) distribution directly from your site go about in their apps ? Using from...as contructs ? from-import or import-as works fine
