Help on class XMLReader in xml.sax.xmlreader:

xml.sax.xmlreader.XMLReader = class XMLReader(builtins.object)
 |  Interface for reading an XML document using callbacks.
 |
 |  XMLReader is the interface that an XML parser's SAX2 driver must
 |  implement. This interface allows an application to set and query
 |  features and properties in the parser, to register event handlers
 |  for document processing, and to initiate a document parse.
 |
 |  All SAX interfaces are assumed to be synchronous: the parse
 |  methods must not return until parsing is complete, and readers
 |  must wait for an event-handler callback to return before reporting
 |  the next event.
 |
 |  Methods defined here:
 |
 |  __init__(self)
 |      Initialize self.  See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.
 |
 |  getContentHandler(self)
 |      Returns the current ContentHandler.
 |
 |  getDTDHandler(self)
 |      Returns the current DTD handler.
 |
 |  getEntityResolver(self)
 |      Returns the current EntityResolver.
 |
 |  getErrorHandler(self)
 |      Returns the current ErrorHandler.
 |
 |  getFeature(self, name)
 |      Looks up and returns the state of a SAX2 feature.
 |
 |  getProperty(self, name)
 |      Looks up and returns the value of a SAX2 property.
 |
 |  parse(self, source)
 |      Parse an XML document from a system identifier or an InputSource.
 |
 |  setContentHandler(self, handler)
 |      Registers a new object to receive document content events.
 |
 |  setDTDHandler(self, handler)
 |      Register an object to receive basic DTD-related events.
 |
 |  setEntityResolver(self, resolver)
 |      Register an object to resolve external entities.
 |
 |  setErrorHandler(self, handler)
 |      Register an object to receive error-message events.
 |
 |  setFeature(self, name, state)
 |      Sets the state of a SAX2 feature.
 |
 |  setLocale(self, locale)
 |      Allow an application to set the locale for errors and warnings.
 |
 |      SAX parsers are not required to provide localization for errors
 |      and warnings; if they cannot support the requested locale,
 |      however, they must raise a SAX exception. Applications may
 |      request a locale change in the middle of a parse.
 |
 |  setProperty(self, name, value)
 |      Sets the value of a SAX2 property.
