There was no intention to change this, it should be reverted.\r\n\r\nMeanwhile, I think it will be good to add test for `root` attribute.\r\n - Right after function returned iterator: `it.root` must be `None`.\r\n - After iterator exhaustion: `it.root` must be an instance of `xml.etree.ElementTree.Element`.\r\n\r\n### CPython versions tested on:\r\n\r\nCPython main branch\r\n\r\n### Operating systems tested on:\r\n\r\nOther\n\n\u003c!-- gh-linked-prs --\u003e\n### Linked PRs\n* gh-114755\n* gh-114798\n* gh-114799\n\u003c!-- /gh-linked-prs --\u003e\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/Prometheus3375","@type":"Person","name":"Prometheus3375"},"datePublished":"2024-01-29T22:47:27.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/114737/cpython/issues/114737"}
