[XML-SIG] [Bug #123693] ContentHandler.characters() parameter requirements not SAX

[noreply@sourceforge.net]

Bug #123693, was updated on 2000-Nov-28 06:11
Here is a current snapshot of the bug.

Project: Python/XML
Category: SAX
Status: Open
Resolution: None
Bug Group: None
Priority: 5
Summary: ContentHandler.characters()  parameter requirements not  SAX

Details: SAX2 API documentation says:
http://www.megginson.com/SAX/Java/javadoc/org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html#characters(char[],

public void characters(char[] ch,int start, int length)

PyXML-0.6.2/doc/xml-howto.txt  says:
	   def characters(self, ch)   
in line 770

This corresponds to how the pyexpat implementation distributed with python 2.0 works, but is not following the SAX API as pyexpat in pyXML 0.6.2 does.

It looks like a bug in python 2.0 and at least a documentation bug for pyxml 0.6.2.

Hopefully this is the right place to report this.
