[Background information]
Package description: XML bomb protection for Python stdlib modules

The results of an attack on a vulnerable XML library can be fairly
dramatic. With just a few hundred bytes of XML data an attacker can occupy several
gigabytes of memory within seconds. An attacker can also keep
CPUs busy for a long time with a small to medium size request.
This library allows for XML to be parsed in a manner that avoids these
pitfalls. This package contains the module for the Python 2 interpreter.

   holders are missing.
