Potentially both: The xml.dom.pulldom documentation is not really there.
Maybe the PullDOM builds a partial tree, not caring about nested nodes. In
contrast to SAX2DOM, which seems to fill the DOM tree completely.
I tried to figure out, what the programmer intended to do: Obviously SAX2DOM
extends the behaviour of PullDOM.
The documentation (online V3.2, retrieved today) does state: "PullDOM allows
building only selected portions of a Document Object Model representation"
Does that mean, one would derive a customized class from PullDOM, implement
methods like SAX2DOM, but control the construction with conditions?
For example:
class MyDOM(PullDOM):
def startElement(self, name, attrs):
PullDOM.startElement(self, name, attrs)
if name[:3]=="my_":
curNode = self.elementStack[-1]
parentNode = self.elementStack[-2]
parentNode.appendChild(curNode)
When someone says "YEAH, MATE, ABSOLUTELY, YOU GOT IT!", I might be able fill
some of the documentation gaps.
