Re: [xml] ¿leak using libxml2 for sax-parsing html in python?

["Cesar Ortiz" <cesar ortiz name>]

I put in my first email the example that 'leaks'. I am afraid I am assuming something, but I have not seen any good example. 
The source file I took in order to do my implementation was the test 'pushSAXhtml.py

' that comes with the distribution.

The only thing that is done in that example about the release of resources  is: 'ctxt = None'.
I have tried to use the following functions:

ctxt.htmlFreeParserCtxt

()
ctxt.clearParserCtxt()

And I get segment violations.

Are you calling freeDoc, freeNode, xpathFreeContext, etc. or are you
blindly assuming the python bindings are doing this for you?
