Not Vulnerable: Python Software Foundation Python 3.1.1 

The Expat library is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability because it fails to properly handle crafted XML data.

Exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to cause denial-of-service conditions in the context of an application using the vulnerable XML parsing library.

Expat 2.0.1 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
