Re: [lxml-dev] Does etree.iter() handle the refcount properly?

I just started using lxml and I ran into an odd problem. I'm using version 2.0.4-14 from the OpenSuSE repositories.

import lxml.etree as etree

# test.py xml = '''\ <?xml version="1.0"?> <xml/>'''

for i in range(10000): et = etree.fromstring(xml) for el in et.iter(): pass

$ python test.py Fatal Python error: deallocating None Aborted

Is this a bug, or am I using etree.iter() incorrectly?

Works for me in the latest version. Stefan
