[New-bugs-announce] [issue38011] xml.dom.pulldom splits text data at buffer size when parsing from file

[Noam Sturmwind]

New submission from Noam Sturmwind <noam at sturmwind.ca>:

Python 3.7.4

When parsing a file using xml.dom.pulldom.parse(), if the parser is in the middle of text data when default_bufsize is reached it will split the text into multiple DOM Text nodes.

This breaks code expecting that reads the text data using node.firstChild.data.
