About the 3 security fixes (is the last change a security fix?).
"""
#43 Protect against compilation without any source of high
quality entropy enabled, e.g. with CMake build system;
commit ff0207e6076e9828e536b8d9cd45c9c92069b895
"""
Since Python uses its own entropy source, I don't think that this change impacts us.
https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/commit/ff0207e6076e9828e536b8d9cd45c9c92069b895
"""
#60 Windows with _UNICODE:
Unintended use of LoadLibraryW with a non-wide string
resulted in failure to load advapi32.dll and degradation
in quality of used entropy when compiled with _UNICODE for
Windows; you can launch existing binaries with
EXPAT_ENTROPY_DEBUG=1 in the environment to inspect the
quality of entropy used during runtime; commits

[MOX-006] Fix non-NULL parser parameter validation in XML_Parse;
resulted in NULL dereference, previously;
commit ac256dafdffc9622ab0dc2c62fcecb0dfcfa71fe
"""
I'm not sure that it's possible to call XML_Parse() with NULL in Python.
