I need to parse little snipits of xml that come from a file that has a large DTD that defines hundreds or entities. But when these snipits are parsed (with elementtree.XML()) without the DTD, the entities are undefined and cause a parse failure.
Is there any way to tell elementtree to not fail on undefined entities but just return the entity as text? (Or is this something I have to get the underlying parser to do? How?) Alternatively, can I supply my own entity mapping to elementtree? Prepending the large DTD to each little snippit before parsing seems awfully inefficient. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
