[issue13988] Expose the C implementation of ElementTree by default when importing ElementTree

[Eli Bendersky]

Eli Bendersky <eliben at gmail.com> added the comment:

By the way, I see that if the explicit import of _namespace_map is commented out, the test_xml_etree_c test fails because it's not in the __all__ list. So the test can just import it directly with:

from xml.etree.ElementTree import _namespace_map

And the import in cElementTree won't be necessary. After all, _namespace_map is definitely not a public API!

This will keep cElementTree an nice-and-clean:

from xml.etree.ElementTree import *
