Functions

__init__()
elementDecl()

Callback function is called for each element declaration in a DTD

externalEntityRefHandler()

The purpose of this function is to load the DTD locally, instead of downloading it from the URL specified in the XML. Using the local DTD results in much faster parsing. If the DTD is not found locally, we try to download it. If new DTDs become available from NCBI, putting them in Bio/Entrez/DTDs will allow the parser to see them

read()

Set up the parser and let it parse the XML results
