Why is there no method in the ElementTree API for the local element tag name? I get the fully-qualified name from element.tag, as .e.g.
{urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1}dependentAssembly
The helper class QName doesn't have such a method.
I end up with code like
fulltag.split('}')[-1]
and feel strongly I've missed something?
Searching for solutions, I invariably end up with the 'cousin' project
lxml.etree, which DOES include .localname.
