[issue21403] cElementTree's Element creation handles attrib argument different from ET

[Stefan Behnel]

Stefan Behnel added the comment:

Works for me in 3.2 and 3.4, fails in 2.7, as reported.

I'll leave it to Eli to decide if this should get fixed in 2.7. In Py2, ET and cET were different modules, so this could also be considered a missing feature in cET. Given that it leads to a serialisation failure, though, it shouldn't hurt to change the behaviour.

(changing title to something more specific)
