[XML-SIG] problem with validating parser

[Alexandre Fayolle]

Hello,

I'm trying to use the validating parser, and I run into a problem. However, I
don't think that my document is invalid. Could someone help me, please ?

the code :
from xml.dom.ext.reader import Sax2
tree = Sax2.FromXmlFile('MainFrame.xml',validate=1)


The document : 

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1' standalone='no'?>
<!DOCTYPE frame SYSTEM "./frame.dtd"> 
<frame>
</frame>

I have a file called frame.dtd in the current directory.

The stack trace I get :
[alf@leo alui]$ python Utils.py
Traceback (innermost last):

Column 42 is just after the closing '>' on line 2, I cannot see why I should
open a bracket or put EMPTY or ANY at this point of my file. What am I missing ?

Thanks for your help.
