[issue16076] xml.etree.ElementTree.Element is no longer pickleable

[Daniel Shahaf]

Daniel Shahaf added the comment:

Attached patch for your consideration.

I've tested pickling/unpickling and comparing the resulting object attribute by attribute (.tag, .attrib, .text, .tail for equality; and recursively .getchildren()), and 'make test' --- all seems to work.

If the approach is sound, I can submit a revised patch that also updates documentation, regression tests, and potententially updates other type objects in the same manner as this patch updates _elementtree.Element .
