Hi,
I'm trying to parse an XML file with Python SAX: xml.sax
If i parse the file with an empty Handler it works perfectly, no error of mismathed tag.
But if i try to print the characters of the tags i get the error:
xml.sax._except ions.SAXParseEx ception: theFile.xml:242 6:6: mismatched tag
I'm working with a file which has latin1 encoding mixed with utf-8. If i change the original file from latin1 to utf-8, i get characters like <AE> and the parser gets mixed up.
So now im working with the original file, but i think that there are some characters that Python is interpreting as tags.
I did add the line:
[PYTHON] # -*- coding: latin-1 -*- [/PYTHON]
in the Python parser code, which one i dont use in the empty Handler.
It's a problem of characters representation, but i dont seem to find the solution.
I'm working in Linux.
Thanks a lot for your time!
Beatriz.

Have you tried adding the - # -*- coding: latin-1 -*-
to the file being parsed? That's the only thing that I can think of.

By the way, UTF-8 in not unicode. If there are unicode characters in the file, this may be your trouble.

I have a parser I am building with python and, unfortunately, people
have decided to put unicode characters in the files I am parsing.
The parser seems to have a fit when I search for one \uXXXX symbol,
and there is another unicode symbol in the file. In this case, a
search and replace for © with a µ in the file causes the infamous
ordinal error.
My quick-fix, because they have good context, is to change them both
to "UTF8", and then...

The error I keep having is something like this:

In short what I'm trying to do is read a document using an xml parser

To fix problems with unicode I built a work-around by mapping unicode
characters to equivalent ascii characters and then encoding everything
to ascii. That allowed me to build the application and debug...
