Expat commit https://sourceforge.net/p/expat/code_git/ci/550eb6bbaa7e6efc44e94cab945fe9c781c01211 introduced with the recent release of Expat 2.2.0 fixed a bug that the current Python test suite relies on. Attached you find patches to fix the test suite for all versions in a backwards-compatible way. Please consider application upstream. Thanks! Best, Sebastian

Thanks for the patches. This test was added in r74435, presumably to test for a crash. IMO it would be sufficient to test for the first part of the error message, without checking the column number. The test could also use assertRaisesRegex(). Should this actually be applied to all security versions, or just 3.5+ and 2.7? I guess can see the benefit of fixing 3.2+, and I remember doing this once before when the test suite fell over and it was not Python’s fault.
