Using your code

$ cat withcallback.py
#! /usr/bin/env python
from pyRXP       import Parser
infile = open(argv[1], 'r').read()
p      = Parser()
def eoCB(entity):
    print 'eoCB(%r)' % entity
    return entity
parsed = p.parse(infile,eoCB=eoCB) 

roger at snark: /tmp/abcd $ ./withcallback.py foo.xml
eoCB('./test.dtd')
eoCB('./first-file.xml')
eoCB('./second-longer-file.xml')
/tmp/abcd/secondonger-fifile.xml: No such file or directory
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./withcallback.py", line 9, in <module>
    parsed = p.parse(infile,eoCB=eoCB)
