[issue19176] DeprecationWarning for doctype() method when subclassing _elementtree.XMLParser

[Eli Bendersky]

Eli Bendersky added the comment:

I don't know how important this is to really warrant removal. Removal means potentially breaking working code when trying to run it with Python 3.5, and my impression was that the core devs are somewhat alergic to this, at least while the transition to Python 3 is ongoing.

Unless it has already been discussed (sorry if I missed it, haven't had much time for CPython recently, unfortunately), may be worth a quick check with python-dev
