Bug Description

Binary package hint: python-xml

The xml.parsers.xmlproc.catalog.CatalogParser class does not recognize the "DTDDECL" keyword in catalog files. This is unfortunate, since the catalog files from the "w3c-dtd-xhtml" package use that keyword.

Example program:

from xml.parsers.xmlproc import catalog
xhtmlCatalog = catalog.SAX_catalog(
        '/usr/share/xml/xhtml/schema/dtd/1.0/catalog',
        catalog.CatParserFactory()
        )

Output:

$ python readcatalog.py
ERROR: Invalid or unsupported construct: DTDDECL. at
/usr/share/xml/xhtml/schema/dtd/1.0/catalog:5:8
TEXT: ' "-//W3C//'

Suggested solution:

Add "'DTDDECL': ('p', 's')" to "entry_hash" in CatalogParser's constructor.
See "_xmlplus/parsers/xmlproc/catalog.py", line 83.

Version info: python-xml 0.8.4-6ubuntu4 on feisty.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 beta or later?

I don't have 0.8.10 beta or later installed and I don't really want to install from source and risk messing up my system. The bug report contains a test case that triggers the problem; if you have 0.8.10 beta or later installed please run the test program to see if the problem still occurs or not.
