One test in test_xml_etree remains disabled for the time being. I've opened
http://bugs.python.org/issue15075 to track this and will continue to
investigate. The problem most likely happens due to the monkey-patching
done by the test to import the Python and not the C implementation of ET.
Since it's the test that is problematic and not the implementation, I've
only marked the issue priority as "normal".
Anyone partial to debugging hairy import-related problems, feel free to
chime in ;-)
