Maciek J <e...@wp.pl> added the comment: Hm... It turns out that there is a "buffer_text" attribute: http://docs.python.org/library/pyexpat.html#xml.parsers.expat.xmlparser.buffer_text And setting this attribute to "True" seems to solve the problem.
It solves my problem, but docs are still very confusing. I see two things that should be fixed: 1. In CharacterDataHandler description it should be explicitly noted that data may be chunked even if it is short(!). 2. Description of buffer_text attribute should contain a notice that data may also be arbitrary chunked if this is set to False. My data _was_not_ chunked at new line characters (as the description suggest). It was chunked in the middle of a sentence (there were no whitespace in it!). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10149> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
