[New-bugs-announce] [issue18990] Remove unnecessary API inconsistency from ElementTree.XMLPullParser.close()

[Stefan Behnel]

New submission from Stefan Behnel:

The .close() method of the new XMLPullParser (see issue17741) in Py3.4 shows an unnecessarily complicated behaviour that is inconsistent with the .close() method of the existing XMLParser.

The attached patch removes some code to fix this.
