[Ananth Vijalapuram]

New submission from Ananth Vijalapuram <ananthsayan at gmail.com>:

I am trying to parse a very large XML file. Here is the output:

/usr/intel/bin/python3.7.4 crif_parser.py
Retrieved 3593891712 characters <- this is printed from my script
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "crif_parser.py", line 9, in <module>
    tree = ET.fromstring(data)
  File "/usr/intel/pkgs/python3/3.7.4/lib/python3.7/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 1315, in XML
    parser.feed(text)
OverflowError: size does not fit in an int
