Regression fix releases coming

Hi all, since there turned out to be a "critical mass" of regressions in 2.7.4/ 3.2.4/3.3.1, Benjamin and I would like to release a releasing fixing these next weekend. Since we would like to cherry-pick only regression fixes into these releases, please make sure any regression issues you know of are set to "open" (even if fixed in the main repo) and status "release blocker" for the appropriate versions. If they aren't fixed yet, it would also be nice to have a patch ready by Saturday :) Thanks, Georg

Can we do something about the problem that virus checkers complain about the xml bomb test file? E.g. Generate it dynamically in a script?
That's been dealt with. See http://bugs.python.org/issue17843 -- Regards, Benjamin

I don't think that's the same issue. The link you gave is about *BZ2* test data triggering antivirus warnings, not XML. Is there another issue for a similar problem with an XML test file? (Searching bugs.python.org for "xml antivirus" doesn't turn up any results...) - Nadeem
