This adds extra work for users and causes issues like #2723 that we need to handle.\r\n\r\nThis is what we should do to remove this extra installation step:\r\n\r\n1. Check what's the current status with ElementTree with the latest IronPython version. There have been several issues related to this in their issue tracker (see e.g. [this](http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/31923), [this](http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/21407) and [this](http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/31579)), but due to the tracker moving twice their status isn't clear. If the latest IronPython version happens to work fine, which I doubt, we can simply recommend using that in our installation instructions. If there are still problems, we should report them to the [current issue tracker](https://github.com/IronLanguages/ironpython2/issues).\r\n\r\n2. Assuming the latest IronPython version doesn't work correctly, we need to think how to workaround the problem. I believe the easiest solution is bundling the ElementTree 1.2.7 preview version that we instruct users to install with Robot Framework itself."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/robotframework/robotframework/issues/comments/373313409","html_url":"https://github.com/robotframework/robotframework/issues/2742#issuecomment-373313409","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/robotframework/robotframework/issues/2742","id":373313409,"user":{"login":"pekkaklarck","id":114985,"avatar_url":"https://avatars2.githubusercontent.com/u/114985?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/pekkaklarck","html_url":"https://github.com/pekkaklarck","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pekkaklarck/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pekkaklarck/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pekkaklarck/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pekkaklarck/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pekkaklarck/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pekkaklarck/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pekkaklarck/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pekkaklarck/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pekkaklarck/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-03-15T09:28:39Z","updated_at":"2018-03-15T09:28:39Z","author_association":"OWNER","body":"RF 3.0.3 has been delayed a lot.
