But your TreeBuilder is also growing a tree internally, and therefore eating more and more memory, right? I don't see the point of stuffing different kinds of functionality inside a single class. It makes the intended use less obvious, and errors more likely. Right now, IncrementalParser has a simple API, and there's a single way to use it. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17741> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
