This bug was fixed in the package python3.2 - 3.2.3-6ubuntu3
---------------
python3.2 (3.2.3-6ubuntu3) quantal; urgency=low
* Update to 20120921 from the 3.2 branch. Linux relevant fixes:
- Issue #15970: xml.etree.ElementTree now serializes correctly the empty
HTML elements 'meta' and 'param'.
- Issue #11715: Fix multiarch detection without having Debian development
tools (dpkg-dev) installed.
* Fix issue #16012, a regression in pyexpat. The parser's UseForeignDTD()
method doesn't require an argument again. LP: #1056740.

Title:
xml.parsers.expat.xmlparser.UseForeignDTD requests a non-optional
parameter, conflicts with the documentation

Bug description:
I just noticed that while digging a traceback I was getting when
running lazygal.
According to python 2.7.3’s documentation
(http://docs.python.org/library/pyexpat.html#xml.parsers.expat.xmlparser.UseForeignDTD),
UseForeignDTD takes an optional parameter. However the latest version
of the interpreter in Quantal chokes when no parameter is given:
python -c "from xml.parsers import expat;
parser=expat.ParserCreate('UTF-8'); parser.UseForeignDTD()"
results in:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: UseForeignDTD() takes exactly 1 argument (0 given)
This is a recent regression as I was running lazygal without a problem
on Quantal a couple of weeks ago.
