[New-bugs-announce] [issue43292] xml.ElementTree iterparse filehandle left open

[Viktor Kis]

New submission from Viktor Kis <vkisforever at gmail.com>:

Standard library xml.ElementTree - iterparse does not close filehandle properly when breaking out of a for loop iterating with iterparse. The issue only occurs when the user passes a "string" as a source object instead of a filehandle (that is because a user's filehandle can safely be closed in a context manager as shown in the attachment).
