@effbot, I think you may have misread the OP's example. The first two
arguments /are/ being passed positionally. In any case, there's a real bug
here. cElementTree seems to choke on uses of attrib. Change cElementTree to
ElementTree below and this one works, too.
>>> from xml.etree.cElementTree import Element, tostring
>>> print tostring(Element('foo', attrib={}))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "bug.py", line 2, in <module>
print tostring(Element('foo', attrib={}))
