".iter()" gives you a recursive iterator that will also yield the
"something" Element in your case, thus the incorrect counting. You only
want the children, so you should iterate over the Element itself.
Thanks Stephan.
I went home and went to sleep and woke up in the middle of the night and
thought, wait a minute, iter() is giving me a depth first list of
elements but insert() is indexing children of the parent.
I think I must have been up too late.
There is an .index() method on Elements that does what you want to
achieve here. However, the right way to do it is to use ".addnext()".

Those are exactly the functions I wanted. I didn't see them (and still
don't) in the Python ElementTree documentation and thought I had to use
parent.insert().
Thanks again.
