This is not a bug, it's normal, documented behaviour. The children are not guaranteed to be available during the "start" event. Only the tag itself is guaranteed to be there. The guarantee that the subtree is complete is only given for the "end" event. See the big note in the documentation: https://docs.python.org/3/library/xml.etree.elementtree.html#xml.etree.ElementTree.iterparse ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35729> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
