[issue34894] Unexpected error while unpickling lxml.etree.Element object

[Marcin Raczyński]

New submission from Marcin Raczyński :

If we use pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL we can pickle lxml.etree.Element object but 
unpickling give us misleading error description:

>>> from lxml import etree
>>> import pickle
>>> import sys
sys.version
'2.7.15rc1 (default, Apr 15 2018, 21:51:34) \n[GCC 7.3.0]'
>>> etree.__version__
u'4.2.5'
>>> pickled = pickle.dumps(etree.Element('x'), protocol=pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL)
>>> pickle.loads(pickled)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
pickle.loads(pickled)
  File "src/lxml/etree.pyx", line 1131, in lxml.etree._Element.__repr__
  File "src/lxml/etree.pyx", line 981, in lxml.etree._Element.tag.__get__

How are you sure that a bug is not in the CPython implementation of the pickle 
module but in the lxml?
