[XML-SIG] Python DTD parser?

Dear XML-SIG,
I am trying to find a working, maintained DTD parser written in Python. The
main Python XML distribution does not include one. I was using the PyXML
parser, but (1) (at least on SourceForge) it hasn't been maintained for
years, and (2) (as of the last version I could find, 0.8.4) it has a bug
that sometimes causes it to not process the very last line of a DTD -- which
in a well-modularized DTD is often an entity reference that pulls in the
main content of the DTD!
I've written my own DTD parser, but it omits some features, I really don't
know how well it conforms to the spec (which is important because I'm also
writing some DTDs of my own), and I'd much rather use a well-tested one
written by others.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Sincerely,
L Peter Deutsch
