New submission from Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpyt...@gmail.com>:
Currently some methods for xml.etree.ElementTree.Element check the type subelements: append(), extend(), insert(). But there are other ways to add non-Element children: __setitem__(), __setstate__(), __deepcopy__(). This could cause crashes later in the C code and required to add numerous type checks for iterating and searching. Since the intention was to prevent adding non-Element children, it is better to check the type every time when add new children. ---------- assignee: serhiy.storchaka components: Library (Lib), XML messages: 327939 nosy: eli.bendersky, scoder, serhiy.storchaka priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add more type checks for children of xml.etree.ElementTree.Element type: behavior versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35013> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
