You can’t replace an element from the
ElementTreeyou can only work withElement.Even when you call
ElementTree.find()it’s just a shortcut forgetroot().find().So you really need to:
The extraction of the parent element can be easy if your target is a root sub-element (just call
getroot()) otherwise you’ll have to find it.
