[issue16089] _elementtree causes segfault in GC

[Stefan Krah]

Stefan Krah added the comment:

Nice find. -- The Python version does this:

  _Element = _ElementInterface = Element


So (naively) I would think the same should be done for the C version
after importing Element.


But then one runs into the object layouts conflict that you mentioned.

On the other hand, in the original documentation direct use of
_ElementInterface was discouraged:
