Thanks for investigating enzyme.
 
I would indeed appreciate if you created an entry in the BTS for this
issue, that would be easier to track for me (and possibly the security
team depending on your findings).

I'm personally very interested in this fuzzing tool so I'm quite
curious if you have some information about your workflow with it, like
how you used it to find these particular bugs.

I maintain at least two other python tools that you may be interested
in:

  - feedparser, a parser for RSS and Atom feeds.
  - guessit, a parser that extract metadata from filenames only.

In particular feedparser has high popcon and downloads from the
network so I'm very interested in your findings.

Thanks!
