I am getting a memory leak using the get attribute method. The following will illustrate the problem:

el = etree.Element("element") el.set('a', 'first')

while True: x = el.get('a')

Memory usage as displayed in top continues will continue to grow.

I am using the following: lxml 0.8 libxml2 2.6.23 Fedora Core 3

Fixed. You can either use the current SVN version (trunk or scoder2 branch) or apply the attached patch by hand. Stefan
