STINNER Victor added the comment: Python 2.7 is not affected because it doesn't implement tp_clear (it doesn't have xmlparser_gc_clear()), only xmlparser_dealloc() calls EXPAT(ParserFree)(self->parser).
I'm unable to reproduce the bug in Python 3.5 nor 3.6. bug2.py creates a reference cycle the "except etree.ParseError as exc: e = exc # must keep local reference!" which requires to trigger a garbage collection to clear the "parser" variable. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31499> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
