That's true.

I don't know of one.  It's not terribly creative in the details, but,
as the native interfaces to the XML parsers tend to be, it's unique.
The Python wrapper exposes the native interface faithfully, and that's
changed several times in the details; the wrapper has followed suit,
exposing the API of the Expat actually being used.

So I think a SAX2-based parser is your best bet.
