On second thought, I see what effbot is trying to say... but it's still a bug.
Given the way the interface is declared and the behavior of regular python
functions:
Element(tag, attrib={}, **extra)
indicates that I can pass attrib (or tag, for that matter)
Dave Abrahams added the comment:
@effbot, I think you may have misread the OP's example. The first two
arguments /are/ being passed positionally. In any case, there's a real bug
here. cElementTree seems to choke on uses of attrib. Change cElementTree to
ElementTree below and this one work
