New submission from Aaron Oakley: It would really help to document that the C API can only use the default xml.etree.ElementTree.TreeBuilder for targets with iterparse (and by extension, IncrementalParser).
I got a nice surprise about that when I went from 3.2 to 3.3 and started getting "TypeError: event handling only supported for ElementTree.TreeBuilder targets". I included a patch to add notes to iterparse and IncrementalParser, but I'm not sure what to refer to the C module as since xml.etree.cElementTree is deprecated. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation, XML files: elementtree.rst-340a0.patch keywords: patch messages: 188329 nosy: Aaron.Oakley, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Document that _elementtree C API cannot use custom TreeBuilder for iterparse or IncrementalParser type: behavior versions: Python 3.4 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file30119/elementtree.rst-340a0.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17902> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
