| 2008-10-05 09:33:17 | scoder | lxml: statusexplanation | There isn't currently a way to work around such a broken document. libxml2 follows the XML spec strictly in that it rejects references to undeclared entities in the absence of a DTD. ElementTree lacks DTD support and instead allows you to specify entities through a parser local "entity" dictionary. lxml could potentially support a similar interface by intercepting the entity reference resolving at the SAX layer ("getEntity()" callback function). |
