Package: python3-xlrd
Version: 1.2.0-1
Tags: patch
xlrd 1.2.0 started using defusedxml if available.
As defusedxml.cElementTree does not have a top-level ElementTree
attribute, Element_has_iter gets set to False
(https://sources.debian.org/src/python-xlrd/1.2.0-1/xlrd/xlsx.py/#L59).
However, ET.parse returns a standard library ElementTree, which does
have iter and not getiterator. This causes the error:
E AttributeError: 'ElementTree' object has no attribute 'getiterator'
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/xlrd/xlsx.py:266: AttributeError
This shows up in the pandas autopkgtest, as python3-pandas
recommends/test-depends on python3-odf and hence python3-defusedxml.

suggests basically the same fix.
