Hi Jeremy,

The script is not leaking on python 2.2.2 but when I use my complete application creating doms like I'm doing in the script, I see a small leak. 

Why I dont see the leak in the script and I see it in the application ? Its strange. Its a pure python program.

Its as you said, python 2.2.2 is leaking.

I can not use python 2.3 because its not yet packaged by activestate for the moment.

Kamel

Thanks

I've checked in fixes for pyexpat which solve a refcount issue when passing
an instance to ParseFile.  The readmethod wasn't being decref'ed before exit
of that function.
