goose3 stops working at the 3rd execution

[system1system2]

I installed goose3 (via pip3 install goose3) in a-Shell and created a Python script to process an input URL and print on screen the output of goose3 function article.cleaned_text. Accordingly, I run:

python3 news.py https://url-of-choice

The script works just fine for the first 2 executions. At the third one, I received the error below and the only way to recover is by manually killing a-Shell and restarting it:

Hi, I'm trying to reproduce, but just calling "from goose3 import Goose" is not enough (the issue does not appear). I might need the script you are running (news.py).

[system1system2]

Sorry:

import sys
from goose3 import Goose;
url = sys.argv[1]

g = Goose()
article = g.extract(url=url)
print(article.cleaned_text)

Thanks. I found the issue (lxml was not cleaning up when leaving). It will be fixed in the next build.

Hi, the next build is now available on TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/WUdKe3f4 It should be working now.
