[New-bugs-announce] [issue1137] pyexpat patch for changing buffer_size

[Achim Gaedke]

New submission from Achim Gaedke:

Hello!

Sometimes people have big amounts of text/data in xml files. To make
processing more effective, they should be able to change the buffer size
for collecting character data in one string.

Here comes a patch that applies necessary changes in setattr method. It
handles reallocation sufficiently efficient without introducing extra
variables to the parser class.

Also a documentation patch and some test cases are available.

These patches and tests were done with debian etch python2.5, which is
python-2.5.1 . This patch also works on python2.4 .
