Andrew Svetlov <andrew.svet...@gmail.com> added the comment: For derivative Python implementation there is a standard strategy: they uses a copy of CPython standard library.
Tthat's why any new module should have a pure Python implementation and that's why https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0399/ exists. Jython has copy() method as well. IronPython has it. I doubt if an implementation without xml.etree.ElementTree.Element.copy exists at all. The method removal breaks backward compatibility without a reason, __copy__ alias is valuable and backward compatible change. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32424> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
