New submission from Yitz Gale: The expat sax parser in xml.sax.expatreader does not fully support the InputSource protocol in xml.sax.xmlreader. It only accepts byte streams. It ignores the encoding indicated in the InputStream object and only uses the encoding read from the XML or defaults to UTF-8.
Rather than silently doing the wrong thing, it should raise an error when fed a character stream, or when given an encoding, via the InputSource interface. And most importantly, these limitations should be mentioned in the documentation. ---------- components: Documentation, Extension Modules, Library (Lib), Unicode, XML messages: 62901 nosy: ygale severity: normal status: open title: Expat sax parser silently ignores the InputSource protocol type: behavior versions: Python 2.5, Python 2.6, Python 3.0 __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2175> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
