That was my guess as well. I added the extra test so as not to remove a
test that might, under some circumstance be important.
Just to be clear, I am at present totally confused about io streams :-)
Especially as used by the sax parsers. In particular, opening a file in 'r'
mode, that is, passing a *non*-byte stream to parser.parse, works, while
opening a file in 'rb' mode, that is, passing a *byte* stream to
parser.parse, hangs.
Anyway, opening the file passed to parser.parse with 'r' mode looks like the
(only) way to go when using Python 3.0. In Python 2.5, opening files passed
to parser.parse in 'rb' mode works. I don't recall whether I had any reason
for 'rb' mode: it may have been an historical accident, or just a lucky
accident :-)
