  You're not doing anything wrong; the test suite exposes some
internal data that expat passes through Python to allow the
.ExternalEntityParserCreate() method to pick up context information.
The format of the context information can and has changed over the
life of Expat, but should not be exposed to begin with.  The current
version of the test (in the alphas for 2.1) does not expose this
implementation detail.  You should be able to pick up the files
Lib/test/test_pyexpat.py and Lib/test/output/test_pyexpat from the
Python CVS and use them instead.
  I'll add an entry to the Python 2.0 FAQ.
