Modules/pyexpat.c includes some archaic code to create temporary frames so that, in even of an exception being raised, expat appears in the traceback. The way this is implemented is a problem for three reasons: 1. It violates PEP 384. 2. It is incorrect, see http://bugs.python.org/issue6359. 3. It is inefficient, as a frame is generated for each call, regardless of whether an exception is raised or not. The attached patch fixes these issues.
