Importing `cElementTree` has been deprecated since Python 3.3 -
importing `ElementTree` automatically uses the fastest
implementation available - and is finally removed in Python 3.9.
Importing cElementTree directly (not as part of xml) is an even
older relic, it's for Ye Time Before ElementTree Was Added To
Python and it was instead an external module...which was before
Python 2.5.
We still need to work with Python 2.7 for now, so we use a try/
except to handle both 2.7 and 3.9 cases. Also, let's not repeat
this import 12 times in one file for some reason.

The repodata.RepoDataQueryResult is supposed to be a bytes API and
that's what our users (see build module) expect.
Note that the repodata.RepoDataQueryResult.path method still returns
a str. That's what the rpmquery.RpmQuery, debquery.DebQuery, and
archquery.ArchQuery classes also do (if the "path" was initially
passed as a str).
Fixes: #760 ("osc build fails when called with --prefer-pkgs where the
passed directory is a repodata repository or a subdirectory of one")
The following abstract methods are added to the PackageQueryResult
class: recommends(), suggests(), supplements(), and enhances().
Note that not all package/metadata formats have a notion of these
weak dependencies.
rpm rpmmd deb arch
recommends x x x
suggests x x x x
supplements x x
enhances x x x
(where "x" represents "supported"). In case of an unsupported weak
dependency, the implementation returns an empty list.
We need the weak dependency support in order to fix#363 ("osc build
-p ../rpms/tw doesnt send recommends to the server which makes client
side build behave differently to server side build").
Any directory passed to --prefer-pkgs will be searched for a repodata
directory. If the directory does not contain a repodata directory, then
each ancestor directory is checked. This allows for the user error of
specifying an individual architecture directory (e.g. x86_64) instead of the
parent repository directory that contains the repodata:
repository/
x86_64/
*.rpm
repodata/
*.xml.gz
The use case for this feature is it allows snapshots of the OBS repositories
to be offloaded to an network-attached filesystem. repodata directories are
used as the xml.gz files are faster to read than the 100s of rpms in a given
snapshot. These snapshots are used to track older rpm sets that may be
deployed for testing.
