New submission from Erich Seifert:
It seems the recent changes to Modules/pyexpat.c made the boolean 'flag' for
UseForeignDTD mandatory although it was optional in previous Python releases.
According to the docs the usage is UseForeignDTD([flag]), but calling
UseForeignDTD without arguments leads to an error::
>>> from xml.parsers import expat
>>> parser = expat.ParserCreate('utf8')
>>> parser.UseForeignDTD()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: UseForeignDTD() takes exactly 1 argument (0 given)
This was tested with version bfdf366a779a from hg repository.
