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

Hi list,
How does one prevent elementtree converting & to & (and similarly
for other entities)?
>>> from xml.etree import ElementTree as et
>>> x = et.Element( 'test' )
>>> x.text = '&'
>>> et.tostring( x )
'&'
Sometimes I would like to have the output '&'
