I'm following the example at http://xmlsoft.org/xmlreader.html, and
have modified only processNode() to print reader.GetParserLineNumber()
so that I have
---------------------------
import libxml2
def processNode(reader):
print reader.GetParserLineNumber(), reader.Name()
def streamFile(filename):
try:
reader = libxml2.newTextReaderFilename(filename)
except:
print "unable to open %s" % (filename)
return
ret = reader.Read()
while ret == 1:
processNode(reader)
ret = reader.Read()
if ret != 0:
print "%s : failed to parse" % (filename)
---------------------------
and my .xml file is
---------------------------
<doc><a/><b>some text</b>
<c/></doc>
---------------------------
But the print-out is
---------------------------
3 doc
3 a
3 b
3 #text
3 b
3 #text
3 c
3 doc
---------------------------
The problem is that every node is reported to be on line 3, even
though some nodes are clearly on line 1, and others on line 2 (and
there is no line 3).
With a slightly longer .xml file, it looks like it reads ahead in
chunks: for a 72 line .xml file, reader.GetParserLineNumber() returns
a bunch of 25s, then 49s, then finally 73s.
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? And if this is a bug,
can I get some hints as to what parts of the code to look to patch?
Thanks,
Nigel.
