Content 
https://docs.python.org/3/library/xml.html continues to recommend defusedexpat, but that package won't install for any Python versions after 3.4 because the package isn't being maintained. https://bitbucket.org/tiran/defusedexpat/src/default/ linked from https://pypi.org/project/defusedexpat/ stops at 3.3. https://github.com/tiran/defusedexpat stops at 3.4.

If the package doesn't actually work for newer Pythons, the recommendation should be removed from official documentation.
