bpo-20928: support base-URL and recursive includes in etree.ElementInclude (#5723)

2019-11-25T15:36:25+00:00

* bpo-20928: bring elementtree's XInclude support en-par with the implementation in lxml by adding support for recursive includes and a base-URL.

* bpo-20928: Support xincluding the same file multiple times, just not recursively.

* bpo-20928: Add 'max_depth' parameter to xinclude that limits the maximum recursion depth to 6 by default.

* Add news entry for updated ElementInclude support

Remove binding of captured exceptions when not used to reduce the chances of creating cycles (GH-17246)

2019-11-19T21:34:03+00:00

Capturing exceptions into names can lead to reference cycles though the __traceback__ attribute of the exceptions in some obscure cases that have been reported previously and fixed individually. As these variables are not used anyway, we can remove the binding to reduce the chances of creating reference cycles.

See for example GH-13135
