[issue17970] Mutlithread XML parsing cause segfault

[Christian Heimes]

Christian Heimes added the comment:

In my opinion it's fine to document Python's XML parser as not thread-safe and leave locking to the user. Any fancy locking or tracking is going to make it slower for users. Any it takes a lot of effort to implement the feature, too. lxml offers a faster XML parser with multi-threading support.
