get line number in exception from parser target
Hello, I'm using lxml to parse Apple XML Property List files, by passing the XMLParser a custom PlistTarget object that builds python data structures (dict, list, int, float, etc.) from plist elements using the "target parser interface". This works well, however sometimes I need to raise an exception from inside my PlistTarget class to signal some unexpected elements or a missing value for a given plist dict key, etc. I would like to give the user the current line number along with the exception error message. But I can't get the Element.sourceline because I'm not building an XML element tree, my target class doesn't know the parser it is been used by, and it doesn't receive element objects, just start, end, and data and close events. Do you know a way (from pure Python, I would prefer not to reach down into Cython) to get the parser's current line number from within a target object? Anyway, thank you for this great library!
