Importing modules works on the interpreter, but not on the script

I started following the elementtree tutorial on this site http://www.bigfatalien.com/?p=223 , so as usual, I typed the reference scripts on the interpreter, and I went

import xml.etree.ElementTree as xml

And the interpreter runs this command just fine and using "xml" in the intrepreter without any problems, my IDE even showed the members of this class in autocomplete, but as soon as I typed the same line into the script and tried to run it, he said

the object does not have the attribute 'etree'

this line works:

import xml

But if I add:

xml.etree.ElementTree = xml

script, , IDE (pyscripter) IDLE, . , , " " python. , - .
