Element.append() does not work with defusedxml?

[papadeltasierra]

See the script below. This works as expected.

# from defusedxml.ElementTree import fromstring
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

THE_XML = "<ListOfItems></ListOfItems>"
# xml = fromstring(THE_XML)
xml = ET.fromstring(THE_XML)
item = ET.Element('Item')
xml.append(item)

However it I swap for the version that uses defusedxml then I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\temp\defusing.py", line 7, in <module>
    xml.append(item)
TypeError: append() argument must be xml.etree.ElementTree.Element, not Element

Is this caused by defusedxml or is this some subtle difference between the C and Python implementations of xml.etree.Elementree?

I've had the same problem using this code

import xml.etree.ElementTree
from defusedxml.ElementTree import parse

tree = parse('test.xml')
tree.getroot().append(xml.etree.ElementTree.Element("Test"))

with following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "xmltest.py", line 5, in <module>
    tree.getroot().append(xml.etree.ElementTree.Element("Test"))
TypeError: append() argument must be xml.etree.ElementTree.Element, not Element

Got it working by only importing Element

from xml.etree.ElementTree import Element
from defusedxml.ElementTree import parse

tree = parse('test.xml')
tree.getroot().append(Element("Test"))

The problem was fixed in #60. Please update to 0.7.1 or 0.8.0rc1.
