Me too:
- __name__ and __qualname__ would be less confusing
- the cElementTree accelerator uses large parts of Python implementation

Not fully separated... there's some python code hidden in the C module.

This point is wrong... the _elementtree.c accelerator imports Python ElementTree already.
As you can see on lines 2938 to 2945, the change could lead to an import cycle:
http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/705b56512287/Modules/_elementtree.c#l2938
Trying to sort this out, it already gives me a headache.
I would like to remove the Python bootstrap code from the C module and try to do it differently, in a more standard way. |
