[issue28871] Destructor of ElementTree.Element is recursive

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor added the comment:

This issue seems theorical to me, whereas the breakage of benchmarks is
very concrete for me. So I suggest to revert the change in Python 2.7.

(2) looks like the right design and it was implemented in Python 3 (no?).

I don't think that it's worth it to backport the change to Python 2. You
are the first one to report the issue and the backport is risky.
