2This module contains the core classes of version 2.0 of SAX for Python.
3This file provides only default classes with absolutely minimum
4functionality, from which drivers and applications can be subclassed.

6Many of these classes are empty and are included only as documentation

23    """Basic interface for SAX error handlers.
24
25    If you create an object that implements this interface, then
26    register the object with your XMLReader, the parser will call the
27    methods in your object to report all warnings and errors. There
28    are three levels of errors available: warnings, (possibly)
29    recoverable errors, and unrecoverable errors. All methods take a
30    SAXParseException as the only parameter."""

59        locating the origin of document events.
60
61        SAX parsers are strongly encouraged (though not absolutely
62        required) to supply a locator: if it does so, it must supply
63        the locator to the application by invoking this method before
64        invoking any of the other methods in the DocumentHandler
65        interface.
66
67        The locator allows the application to determine the end
68        position of any document-related event, even if the parser is
69        not reporting an error. Typically, the application will use
70        this information for reporting its own errors (such as
71        character content that does not match an application's
72        business rules). The information returned by the locator is
73        probably not sufficient for use with a search engine.
74
75        Note that the locator will return correct information only
76        during the invocation of the events in this interface. The
77        application should not attempt to use it at any other time."""

102        http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces feature is true (the

107        cannot safely be expanded automatically; the
108        start/endPrefixMapping event supplies the information to the

110        necessary.

113        be properly nested relative to each-other: all

115        startElement event, and all endPrefixMapping events will occur
