[issue9375] ElementPath parser in ElementTree 1.3 does not reject "element//" as invalid

[Stefan Behnel]

Stefan Behnel <scoder at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

The parser actually starts with this code:


def iterfind(elem, path, namespaces=None):
    # compile selector pattern
    if path[-1:] == "/":
        path = path + "*" # implicit all (FIXME: keep this?)


IMHO, the 'FIXME' is worth revisiting.
