Python getchildren() not working for valid XML tree

Question

If I run the following python on an XML file (see bottom of Q):

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
tree = ET.parse('C:\\temp\\test2.xml')
print(tree.getchildren())

I get the error:

AttributeError: 'ElementTree' object has no attribute 'getchildren'

I uploaded the XML to an online validator and it said the XML was fine.

Answer 1

The tree itself has no getchildren() method.

print(tree.getroot().getchildren())

Note that getchildren() is deprecated. See the documentation
