### find() | source code
Test find methods (including xpath syntax).
    >>> elem = SAMPLE_XML
    >>> elem.find("tag").tag
    'tag'
    >>> ElementTree.ElementTree(elem).find("tag").tag
    'tag'
    >>> elem.find("section/tag").tag
    'tag'
    >>> ElementTree.ElementTree(elem).find("section/tag").tag
    'tag'
    >>> elem.findtext("tag")
    'text'
    >>> elem.findtext("tog")
    >>> elem.findtext("tog", "default")
    'default'
    >>> ElementTree.ElementTree(elem).findtext("tag")
    'text'
    >>> elem.findtext("section/tag")
    'subtext'
    >>> ElementTree.ElementTree(elem).findtext("section/tag")
    'subtext'
    >>> summarize_list(elem.findall("tag"))
    ['tag', 'tag']
    >>> summarize_list(elem.findall("*"))
    ['tag', 'tag', 'section']
    >>> summarize_list(elem.findall(".//tag"))
    ['tag', 'tag', 'tag']
    >>> summarize_list(elem.findall("section/tag"))
    ['tag']
    >>> summarize_list(elem.findall("section//tag"))
    ['tag']
    >>> summarize_list(elem.findall("section/*"))
    ['tag']
    >>> summarize_list(elem.findall("section//*"))
    ['tag']
    >>> summarize_list(elem.findall("section/.//*"))
    ['tag']
    >>> summarize_list(elem.findall("*/*"))
    ['tag']
    >>> summarize_list(elem.findall("*//*"))
    ['tag']
    >>> summarize_list(elem.findall("*/tag"))
    ['tag']
    >>> summarize_list(elem.findall("*/./tag"))
    ['tag']
    >>> summarize_list(elem.findall("./tag"))
    ['tag', 'tag']
    >>> summarize_list(elem.findall(".//tag"))
    ['tag', 'tag', 'tag']
    >>> summarize_list(elem.findall("././tag"))
    ['tag', 'tag']
    >>> summarize_list(elem.findall(".//tag[@class]"))
    ['tag', 'tag', 'tag']
    >>> summarize_list(elem.findall(".//tag[@class='a']"))
    ['tag']
    >>> summarize_list(elem.findall(".//tag[@class='b']"))
    ['tag', 'tag']
    >>> summarize_list(elem.findall(".//tag[@id]"))
    ['tag']
    >>> summarize_list(elem.findall(".//section[tag]"))
    ['section']
    >>> summarize_list(elem.findall(".//section[element]"))
    []
    >>> summarize_list(elem.findall("../tag"))
    []
    >>> summarize_list(elem.findall("section/../tag"))
    ['tag', 'tag']
    >>> summarize_list(ElementTree.ElementTree(elem).findall("./tag"))
    ['tag', 'tag']
FIXME: ET's Path module handles this case incorrectly; this gives a warning in 1.3, and the behaviour will be modified in 1.4.
    >>> summarize_list(ElementTree.ElementTree(elem).findall("/tag"))
    ['tag', 'tag']

### bad_find() | source code
