[Python-modules-team] Bug#479864: does not work with default python (2.5)

[Steve M. Robbins]

Package: python-elementtree
Version: 1.2.6-12
Severity: important

Did this package somehow miss the python transition?  
Or does it not work with 2.5 for some reason?

I noticed the problem because it breaks pyste:

steve at riemann{boost1.35-1.35.0}pyste
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pyste", line 7, in <module>
    from Pyste import pyste
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/Pyste/pyste.py", line 53, in <module>
    from CppParser import CppParser, CppParserError
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/Pyste/CppParser.py", line 6, in <module>
    from GCCXMLParser import ParseDeclarations
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/Pyste/GCCXMLParser.py", line 12, in <module>
    from elementtree.ElementTree import ElementTree
ImportError: No module named elementtree.ElementTree


The import does work with Python 2.4, of course:
