There's a bug originally report for lxml that also applies to ElementTree:

https://github.com/lxml/lxml/issues/95

Passing different namespace mappings into the Element.find*() methods will always reuse the first one due to incorrect caching based only on the literal path, not all parameters. My fix is here:

https://github.com/lxml/lxml/commit/8bafbdc13ffb4fb8436eda01594780aac4735528

The lookup performance regression when a namespace mapping is passed (sorting etc.) is acceptable as most use cases won't pass any namespaces anyway, so this is a problem that rarely shows in practice.

Here is a test case (for lxml):
