Description

For Python 3.9 and up, the getchildren() method is removed. See https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/xml.etree.elementtree.html#xml.etree.ElementTree.Element.getchildren

This will cause an error with message 'xml.etree.ElementTree.Element' object has no attribute 'getchildren'.

Environment Information

• Environment: Python 3.10

Stack Trace

'xml.etree.ElementTree.Element' object has no attribute 'getchildren'

Sample Code Snippet

if element.tag == search_name:
    element_children = element.getchildren()
# instead use
if element.tag == search_name:
    element_children = list(element)

Suggested Fix

Replace all occurrences of this method (getchildren()) with list() as stated in the documentation linked above.
