New submission from Martin Panter:
I am using the C version of Element Tree via the main ElementTree module. I
have subclassed XMLParser, and created my own target object. I am not that
interested in XML doctypes, but the following simplified code raises a
DeprecationWarning:
$ python3.3 -Wall
Python 3.3.2 (default, May 16 2013, 23:40:52)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from xml.etree.ElementTree import XMLParser
>>> class CustomParser(XMLParser): pass
...
>>> CustomParser().feed("<!DOCTYPE blaua>")
__main__:1: DeprecationWarning: This method of XMLParser is deprecated. Define
doctype() method on the TreeBuilder target.
Looking at the C code, the logic is wrong. Subclasses of XMLParser will
normally always have a doctype() method, at least by inheritance. So the code
should compare the method with the XMLParser.doctype() base method rather than
just checking that it exists. The native Python version seems to get it right.

It looks like this may not be an issue for Python 3.4 because according to
Issue 13248 the deprecated doctype() method is due to be removed.
