title: updating python-elementtree to overcome xpath selector issue
body: <p>I'm getting an error when searching for the attribute of a node in my xml using ElementTree.</p>
  
  <pre><code>expected path separator ([)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The source code is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>home_team_node = game_node.find( "team/team-metadata[@alignment='home']" )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This discussion on Stackoverflow leads me to conclude I need a newer version of ElementTree.</p>

  <p>When I list installed packages I see I have python-elementtree version 1.2.6-14. Yet even after running apt-get update, any effort to upgrade python-elementtree tells me I've got the latest version. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10, so maybe the repositories don't have elementtree 1.3.</p>
  
  <p>What can I do to upgrade to version 1.3?</p>
