# xml.etree test. This file contains enough tests to make sure that
# all included components work as they should.
# Large parts are extracted from the upstream test suite.
# IMPORTANT: the same doctests are run from "test_xml_etree_c" in
# order to ensure consistency between the C implementation and the
# Python implementation.
#
# For this purpose, the module-level "ET" symbol is temporarily
# monkey-patched when running the "test_xml_etree_c" test suite.
# Don't re-import "xml.etree.ElementTree" module in the docstring,
# except if the test is specific to the Python implementation.
