cElementTree is part of the standard distribution in Python 2.5, so you
can solve your problem by upgrading python.  If you can't or won't do that,
you can install the necessary packages using 'easy_install elementtree' and
'easy_install celementree' (you *do* have easy_install, right?).

Wont fix? This fix makes about every bot crash and forces users to install
some external package. Seem to me like the cure is worse than the disease.

Yes. I had to change the behavior here, due to bug #1966402 "wrong
mediawiki_message when not using the default site lang"

I committed r5402 so it verbose the user about the problem, however, from
now on, you'll need to install the module cElementTree, or its slower
implementation, ElementTree, to have pywikipedia to work.

Renaming the bug to "no fallback solution when user don't have
(c)ElementTree "

(I'm marking this bug as WONT FIX : If some dev is willing here to write a
slower implementation of mediawiki_message using for examples regexes, go
ahead. I consider here that since cElementTree/ElementTree was needed for
XML dump parsing, the current behavior is fine, but that's only *my*
opinion)
