I don't think it's a problem with ElementTree. Perhaps you are writing the
same (global) configuration file from several threads at the same time?
You may need some locking mechanism in that case.

I've built a chat with a front-end Ajax client and backend usign
ElementTree
to persist the data.
>
In some circunstances I could not yet discover (it seems random) when I
edit/save the structure, the structure gets corrupted, elementree seems
to
get lost in its internal "cursor", usually something like this happens:
>
<backend>
<chat_list>
<chat id="1">
<chat id="2">
</chat_list>
</backend>id="3"/></backend>
>
Pretty strange, and it drives the whole application unusable.

I don't know if the concurrent nature of the application (multiple users
using the client at almost the same time and sending data to the server
which in turn must save the data to the same global.xml file) has
something
to do with it - I don't know if ElementTree is suitable for this kind of
thing. How to hanlde this concurrent issue?
