[1.15]
Added understanding of the feature_validation, feature_external_pes,
and feature_string_interning features.
Added support for the feature_external_ges feature.
Added support for the property_xml_string property.
[1.16]
Made it recognize the namespace prefixes feature.
[1.17]
removed erroneous first line
[1.19]
Support optional string interning in pyexpat.
[1.21]
Restore compatibility with versions of Python that did not support weak
references. These do not get the cyclic reference fix, but they will
continue to work as they did before.
[1.22]
Activate entity processing unless standalone.
ContentHandler. While GC will eventually clean up, it can take longer than
normal for applications that create a lot of strings (or other immutables)
rather without creating many containers.
This closes SF bug #535474.
If pyexpat is not available and more than one attempt is made to load
an expat-based xml parser, an empty xml.parser.expat module will be
created. This empty module will confuse xml.sax.expatreader into
thinking that pyexpat is available.
The ugly fix is to verify that the expat module actually defines the
names that are imported from pyexpat.
callers of feed will get a SAXException.
In close, feed the last chunk first before calling endDocument, so that
the parser may report errors before the end of the document. Don't do
anything in a nested parser.
Don't call endDocument in parse; that will be called in close.
Use self._source for finding the SystemID; XML_GetBase will be cleared in
case of an error.
