New submission from Neil Muller <drnlmuller+b...@gmail.com>: cElementTree will raise a SyntaxError on XML parsing errors, while ElementTree will raise ExpatError. This makes changing between the two a bit more problematic than it could be. See for example https://lists.canonical.com/archives/bazaar/2006q3/017491.html
ElementTree 1.3 raises a ParseError, which is subclassed from SyntaxError, which will improve the situation when it's merged, but cElementTree should be adjusted to raise the same error. ---------- messages: 89247 nosy: Neil Muller, effbot, jerith severity: normal status: open title: cElementTree & ElementTree use different exceptions for XML Errors versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6265> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
