New submission from Yitz Gale: In the documentation for xml.sax.xmlreader.InputSource objects (section 8.12.4 of the Library Reference) we find that users of InputSource objects should use the following sequence to get their input data:
1. If the InputSource has a character stream, use that. 2. Otherwise, if the InputSource has a byte stream, use that. 3. Otherwise, open a URI connection to the system ID. The parse() method of IncrementalParser skips step 1. In addition, we need to add a method getSourceEncoding() to the XMLReader interface; if non-null, it will indicate to the parser that the input is a byte stream in the given encoding. The documentation should indicate what the parser should do if the XML itself announces that its encoding is something else. I propose that the parser should be required to raise an error in that case. See also #1483. ---------- components: Documentation, Library (Lib), XML messages: 62900 nosy: ygale severity: normal status: open title: xml.sax.xmlreader does not support the InputSource protocol type: behavior versions: Python 2.5, Python 2.6, Python 3.0 __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2174> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
