osc already has code in place to use Python 2.5's xml.etree. (We just need to drop the python-elementtree requirement for $dist >= 10.2). All other packages that depended on python-elementtree should have been patched to use xml.etree. If there are still hidden problems with this, let me know!
Is there any functionally that existed in python-elementtree, which is not part of xml.etree that you relied on? (I only know of SimpleXMLWriter, which was only used by repoview and therefore is now being shipped with repoview.)
A list of differences can be found at http://codespeak.net/lxml/compatibility.html
Are you sure this is really the in-tree Python 2.5 etree.xml? It looks like a different thing to me -- at first glace.
I have no problem porting my code, but other people may have trouble. Why not make ElementTree raise a DeprecationWarning for a short period to give people a chance to catch up?
I guess we can add the package back, in case it really turns out to be a problem. But as of today I'm not aware of any. Best, Christoph -- Christoph Thiel, Tech.
