[docutils:patches] #114 rst2odt_prepstyles.py: Port to ElementTree

> lxml is not part of standard library, while xml.etree is. 

I see. Thanks for the clarification.

When I try to use the patched script on a copy of `docutils/writers/odf_odt/styles.odt`, I get an error:

    /usr/local/src/docutils-git-svn/docutils/tools/rst2odt_prepstyles.py styles.odt 
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/local/src/docutils-git-svn/docutils/tools/rst2odt_prepstyles.py", line 78, in <module>
    main()
      File "/usr/local/src/docutils-git-svn/docutils/tools/rst2odt_prepstyles.py", line 74, in main
    prepstyle(filename)
      File "/usr/local/src/docutils-git-svn/docutils/tools/rst2odt_prepstyles.py", line 48, in prepstyle
    for attr in el.attrib.keys():
    RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration

BTW, the non-patched version fails with:

rst2odt_prepstyles.py currently uses lxml to parse, modify and write XML.  The attached patch makes it use ElementTree instead, which has been part of Python's standard library since 2.5.
