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

["Cesar Ortiz" <cesar ortiz gmail com>]

Thank you!. It worked! Now the memory stays stable.

I have download the source from the viewcvs interface (http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/libxml2).
By the way...  what is the url to get all the libxml2 trunk with the svn command? The doc in the website is a bit outdated.

  We investigated the problem with William, and I think we have it nailed
down in SVN: Committed revision 3573 , it was basically reference counting of
sttribute strings passed in a dictionnary which were not decremented leading
to the leak.
  Patch enclosed,
