I know a little of dom, and would like to learn about ElementTree. Python 2.6 has a somewhat older implementation of ElementTree, but still usable. However, it looks like it
But now they are the same thing as of Python 3.3, in github source code cElementTree
# cElementTree.py from xml.etree.ElementTree import *
# cElementTree.py
from xml.etree.ElementTree import *
it is just for backward compatibility
