Hey all, I recently came across the xml.sax libraries and am trying to
use them. I am currently making a string variable, and am attempting
to pass it into a parser instance as follows:
def parseMessage(self, message):
#create a XML parser
parser = make_parser()
#create an instance of our handler class
#generic, prints out to screen on all events
dh = docHandler()
#tell parser to use our handler
parser.setContentHandler(dh)
#start it going, will trigger on events as defined in the
docHandler class
parser.parse(message)
return
"message" is the following text:
-----------------
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- <ENVELOPE>
- <MESSAGE>
<timestamp>timestamp</timestamp>
- <COMMAND>
<SCOPE>asdasd</SCOPE>
<ACTION>asdasds</ACTION>
</COMMAND>
</MESSAGE>
</ENVELOPE>
---------------
This is dying with the following errors.
File "...../python/lib/python2.4/urllib.py", line 77, in urlopen
return opener.open(url)
File "...../python/lib/python2.4/urllib.py", line 180, in open
return getattr(self, name)(url)
File "...../python/lib/python2.4/urllib.py", line 409, in open_file
return self.open_local_file(url)
File "...../python/lib/python2.4/urllib.py", line 419, in
open_local_file
raise IOError(e.errno, e.strerror, e.filename)
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '?xml version="1.0" ?>\n-
<ENVELOPE>\n - <MESSAGE>\n <timestamp>timestamp</timestamp>\n
- <COMMAND>\n <SCOPE>asdasd</SCOPE>\n
<ACTION>asdasds</ACTION>\n </COMMAND>\n </MESSAGE>\n
</ENVELOPE'
So in recap, it looks like it is trying to take my string argument as a
file handler. How can I get around this? I would prefer not to make a
bigger footprint on the system by creating a file......
Thanks in advance!
