XML Parsing

[Alok Kothari]

Hello,
  I am new to XML parsing.Could you kindly tell me whats the
problem with the following code:

import xml.dom.minidom
import xml.parsers.expat
document = """LettermanisbetterthanJayLeno"""



# 3 handler functions
def start_element(name, attrs):
print 'Start element:', name, attrs
def end_element(name):
print 'End element:', name
def char_data(data):
print 'Character data:', repr(data)

p = xml.parsers.expat.ParserCreate()

p.StartElementHandler = start_element
p.EndElementHandler = end_element
p.CharacterDataHandler = char_data
p.Parse(document, 1)

OUTPUT:

Start element: token {u'pos': u'nn'}
Character data: u'Letterman'
End element: token

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Python25/Programs/eg.py", line 20, in 
p.Parse(document, 1)
ExpatError: junk after document element: line 1, column 33
