New submission from Hrvoje Nikšić <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: In some cases it is unfortunate that any error in the XML chunk seen by the buffer prevents the events generated before the error from being delivered. For example, in some cases valid XML is embedded in a larger file or stream, and it is useful to be able to ignore text that follows the root tag, if any.
The iterparse API and expat itself make this possible, but it doesn't work because in case of a parsing exception, iterparse doesn't deliver the events generated before the exception. A simple change to iterparse makes this possible, however. I would like to share the change with you for possible inclusion in a future release. Note that this change shouldn't affect the semantics of iterparse: the exception is still delivered to the caller, the only difference is that the events generated by expat before the exception are not forgotten. I am attaching a diff between the current implementation of iterparse, and a modified one that fixes this problem. ---------- components: Extension Modules files: patch messages: 66935 nosy: hniksic severity: normal status: open title: improve cElementTree iterparse error handling type: behavior versions: Python 2.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file10343/patch __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2892> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
