SAX Xml Problem

[Darren Young]

I am getting the following error:

Reading /usr/local/src/yhl/src/installer/manifext.xml
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "./dl.py", line 29, in ?
    parser.parseFile(file)
  File
"/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/xml/sax/drivers/drv_pyexpat.py", line
77, in parseFile    if not self.parser.Parse(fileobj.read(),1):
AttributeError: 'string' object has no attribute 'read'

When I run the following code:
#!/usr/bin/python
#
from xml.sax import saxexts
from xml.sax import saxlib

class FindSource(saxlib.HandlerBase):
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.search_name = name

    def startElement(self, elemName, attrs):
        print "Starting element: ", name
        #if elemName != 'source' : return

        name = attrs.get('name', None)
        if name == self.search_name:
         print name, 'found'

if __name__ == '__main__':
    file = "/usr/local/src/yhl/src/installer/manifest.xml"
    print "Reading", file

    parser = saxexts.make_parser()
    dh = FindSource('Bash')

    parser.setDocumentHandler(dh)

    parser.parseFile(file)

    parser.close()

Any ideas would be wonderful...

Thanks,
