我正在etree.HTML( data )像下面这样运行许多不同的data内容。但是，对于特定的data内容，lxml.etree.HTML将不会对其进行解析，而是进入无限循环并消耗 100% 的 CPU。
有谁确切地知道data下面这可能导致这种情况的原因？更重要的是，我怎样才能防止这种情况发生在无限数量的随机损坏上data？
编辑：原来这是 lxml 2.7.8 及以下版本的错误（至少）。更新到 lxml 2.9.0，bug 消失了。
编辑：我知道这构成了一个无限循环，但这不是我得到的坏行为。它运行良好（作为无限循环），data内容健康。对于不健康data的内容，如下所示，会发生循环将停止并且 RAM 将开始填满，当它已满时，所有 CPU 进入等待状态。有关原始调试，请参阅此问题。

n = 0
while True:

对于快速版本，您可以使用：
import sys
from lxml import etree
print("%-20s: %s" % ('Python', sys.version_info))
print("%-20s: %s" % ('lxml.etree', etree.LXML_VERSION))
print("%-20s: %s" % ('libxml used', etree.LIBXML_VERSION))
print("%-20s: %s" % ('libxml compiled', etree.LIBXML_COMPILED_VERSION))
print("%-20s: %s" % ('libxslt used', etree.LIBXSLT_VERSION))
print("%-20s: %s" % ('libxslt compiled', etree.LIBXSLT_COMPILED_VERSION))
我有：
OS : Ubuntu 12.10 (AWS)
Python : sys.version_info(major=2, minor=7, micro=3, releaselevel='final', serial=0)
lxml.etree : (3, 1, 0, 0)
libxml used : (2, 7, 8)
libxml compiled : (2, 7, 8)
libxslt used : (1, 1, 26)
libxslt compiled : (1, 1, 26)
