It's indeed possible to provide that as a third-party module; one would have to implement an EntityResolver, and applications would have to use it. If there was a need for such a thing, somebody would have done it years ago. > It might be interesting to have read-only, force-write and read-write > modes. Please take a look at catalogs - they are a read-only repository for external entities (provided those entities have a public identifier, which the W3C DTDs all have). > Regarding the std-lib, I believe effective caching hooks for DTDs trump > implementing in-memory or sqlite/FS. So then nothing needs to be done - the hooks have been in place since Python 2.0. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2124> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
