Dirty fix for error '_object_has_no_attribute_'getSlave' in EtherCAT extension

for slave in self.Config.getConfig().getSlave():
<type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>:_'lxml.etree._Element'_object_has_no_attribute_'getSlave'

Steps to reproduce problem:

- Add new EtherCAT master
- Add new EthercatNode to the master
- double click on


this is looks like dirty hack to fix strange problem with initial[0]
changing its type after returning from _init_ method to lxml.etree._Element
As a result all methods generated by class factory are lost.

For example, in function initMethod initial[0].__class__ points to
xmlclass.xmlclass.Config. After map(self.append, initial)
self.Config.__class__ is 'xmlclass.xmlclass.Config' as well.
But after returning from initMethod (_init) in CreateElement
self.Config.__class__ has changed to lxml.etree._Element.


I've noticed similar behavior if copy/deepcopy is used for any child
of etree.ElementBase. See simple example below.
[-------------------------------------------------------------]
#!/usr/bin/python

from __future__ import print_function
from lxml import etree
import copy

class DefaultElementClass(etree.ElementBase):
def getLocalTag(self):
return etree.QName(self.tag).localname


def printInformation(x):
print(x, x.__class__, "getLocalTag" in dir(x))


a = DefaultElementClass()
printInformation(a)

#
printInformation(copy.copy(a))
printInformation(copy.deepcopy(a))
