"The courses of action are recommended for any server code that parses untrusted XML data."

What this sentence means?
What "The courses" is?

It means that the package suggests what courses of action to take when parsing untrusted data.  I don't know how it goes about doing that, though, so we'll have to ask Christian to clarify.

s/courses of action/kinds of actions/ in my explanation, otherwise it might be just as confusing :)

I think the sentence either means:
1) The courses of action that defusedxml implements are those recommended for any server code that parses untrusted XML data. 
or 
2) Using defused XML is recommended for any server code that parses untrusted XML data. 

And I think 2 is more likely. So the attached patch reflects that.

Actually, I think it means that the defusedxml documentation tells you what to do to protect yourself from various attack vectors, which pretty much amounts to importing certain functions from defusedxml and using them instead of the stdlib versions.  Your patch may be sufficient, but let's see what Christian has to say.

I took the sentence to mean 1) more that 2). I agree that it should be revised.

New changeset 1c93895c32d8 by Andrew Kuchling in branch '3.3':
#20237: make a revision pass over the XML vulnerabilities section
http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/1c93895c32d8

I applied Fran Bull's change; thanks for the patch!

The vulnerabilities section had several grammar issues, so I made an editing pass over it and made various other changes in my commit.
