Good day,
I'm a Python XML newbie (experienced with each, just new to Python's
XML support), trying to generate a SAX parser for a local file on my
laptop. Now laptops being what they are, it isn't always connected to the
'net. When I'm not and I try to run my parser, I get the following:
File "./copyRatings.py", line 78, in ?
parser.parse(source_file)
File
"/sw/src/root-python23-2.3.3-23/sw/lib/python2.3/xml/sax/expatreader.py", line
107, in parse
File "/sw/src/root-python23-2.3.3-23/sw/lib/python2.3/xml/sax/xmlreader.py",
line 123, in parse
File
"/sw/src/root-python23-2.3.3-23/sw/lib/python2.3/xml/sax/expatreader.py", line
207, in feed
File
"/sw/src/root-python23-2.3.3-23/sw/lib/python2.3/xml/sax/expatreader.py", line
379, in external_entity_ref
File "/sw/src/root-python23-2.3.3-23/sw/lib/python2.3/xml/sax/saxutils.py",
line 277, in prepare_input_source
File "/sw/lib/python2.3/urllib.py", line 76, in urlopen
return opener.open(url)
File "/sw/lib/python2.3/urllib.py", line 181, in open
return getattr(self, name)(url)
File "/sw/lib/python2.3/urllib.py", line 297, in open_http
h.endheaders()
File "/sw/lib/python2.3/httplib.py", line 712, in endheaders
self._send_output()
File "/sw/lib/python2.3/httplib.py", line 597, in _send_output
self.send(msg)
File "/sw/lib/python2.3/httplib.py", line 564, in send
self.connect()
File "/sw/lib/python2.3/httplib.py", line 532, in connect
socket.SOCK_STREAM):
IOError: [Errno socket error] (7, 'No address associated with nodename')
(Note that source_file is something like "~/input.xml".)
So it seems that saxutils.prepare_input_source is using urlopen to try to
open whatever resource it's given to parse. That seems fair and useful
much of the time, except when there's no network. So I know this seems
like more of a urllib question, however I imagine that I'm not the first
saxutils user to run into this problem, so I thought I'd start here.
Does anyone have any good fixes or work arounds? Failing that, any
recommendations on where I can get some?
Thanks in advance!
