Please read Fred Drake's answer again. SAX will split the data in the
XML document into multiple pieces. You put your decoration ("String read
is") around each piece. Multiple pieces -> multiple decorations.
To solve this issue, collect all pieces in a global variable:
output = u""
def characters(self, chars):
global output
output += chars
def endElement(self, name):
global output
print "String read is", output.encode("latin-1")
output = u""
You could also chose to make output an attribute of self.
Regards,
Martin
