New submission from Christian Heimes <li...@cheimes.de>:

The pyexpat module calls XML_SetHashSalt(self->itself,                   
(unsigned long)_Py_HashSecret.expat.hashsalt) to initialize the salt for hash 
randomization of the XML_Parser struct. The _elementree C accelerator doesn't 
call XML_SetHashSalt().

It's not a security issue with recent versions of libexpat. The library 
initializes the salt from a good entry source by default.
