[XML-SIG] PyXML 0.8.3 problem on windows...

[Radovan Chytracek]

Hi,

    so when I applied the fix I propose in PyXML bug report #814935, see
also:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=106473&aid=814935&grou
p_id=6473

I could write SAX EntityResolver and I did not get any exception
anymore. The following code shows that use-case. I tested it on my
modified PyXML 0.8.3 installation using Win32 Python 2.2.3 .

I would suggest to provide InputSource variant (if no such exists yet),
which allows to construct SAX reader InputSource from a string or
UNICODE buffer for convenience in such situations as is this one.

Cheers

        Radovan
