[issue9521] xml.etree.ElementTree skips processing instructions when parsing

[Stefan Behnel]

Stefan Behnel <stefan_ml at behnel.de> added the comment:

Comment/PI parsing in general is implemented in issue 36673. Note that there is currently no way to represent comments and PIs in the tree when they appear outside of the root element, which I think is what this ticket is about. After issue 36673 is resolved, however, they can at least be picked up from the parser target or from iterparse() and XMLPullParser().
