Hi all,
I have recently reimplemented RML (Reportlab's XML format to generate PDFs) using lxml. All works well.
Now, I would like to give my users some more information when an error occurs. For a pure XML parsing error, everything is fine (though I found the failure points hard to interpret at times). But what if the XML parses correctly, but while working with the element tree an error occurs? In this case I would like to tell the user not only the error message, but also the line/column and filename of point of failure.
Ideally I would have the filename, start row and start column of each element available as part of the etree Element. I have tried to find this information or hooks for it.unsuccessfully.
Could someone help me out here?
Regards, Stephan
