ElementTree and clone element toot

[m.banaouas]

My python version is 2.4.4

def SubElement(parent, tag, attrib={}, **extra):

Can you tell me how does "parent" issue could be solved by SubElement ?
I'm looking for how to determine element parent just by asking element it self.
It seems like element doesn't know witch is its parent, while any parent knows
well witch are its childs.

My goal is to clone an element and attach it to a specified parent or to parant
of original element to clone.

may be better implementation of CloneElement is to let the caller context make
the attachement between the clone and its parent.
