xml.etree.cElementTree removed from Python 3.9

With newer versions of Python, xml.etree.ElementTree should be used directly.

Right. For people trying to make sure their applications are prepared, it’s important that dependencies are compatible. It’s not urgent, because there’s still plenty of time in the schedule, but the sooner dependencies are ready, the better it is for everyone.

For the record, finding this issue also triggered a couple of (small-ish) bugs reported against Python:

• https://bugs.python.org/issue40064
• https://bugs.python.org/issue40065

@swetashre All you need to do, for now, is and it should keep working in Python 3.9

try:
    import xml.etree.cElementTree
except ImportError:
    import xml.etree.ElementTree as cElementTree
