Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: As you said, calling close() can have side effects (for example invoking self._cont_handler.endDocument()). This was the argument against PR 1444.
It seems to me that if _entity_stack is not empty (this happens in case of error in entity parsing) the close() method does nothing. And maybe there are other leaks in entity parsing. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30264> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
