[XML-SIG] SAX2 and PyXML -- any actual complete implementations?

I've spent the last day exploring the state of 0.8.4 and SAX2, and as
far as I can see the following is the case:

 * Only expat of the distributed SAX2 parsers supports start/endPrefixMapping
 * Only expat of the distributed SAX2 parsers supports setDocumentLocator

Given that I need a validating parser, that's a bit unfortunate.

PyXML hasn't moved forward for some time -- is the energy for Python
and XML going somewhere else, or does no-one care enough about
validation. . .?

Not a criticism, a genuine request for information.  I am prepared to
look at either

 1) Building a validator on top of expat;
 2) Adding support for start/endPrefixMapping and (easy)
    setDocumentLocator to SAX2/xmlproc.

if there's really nothing else out there.

Cheers,
