[XML-SIG] Documentation and problems

[Frank McGeough]

Simon,

In your doc at :
http://www.hobby.nl/~scaprea/XML/t173.html

I believe the

2. Call the parser factory with the name of a known driver module, e.g.,
SAXparser=xml.sax.saxexts.make_parser("xml.sax.drivers.drv_xmlproc")

is incorrect.  The saxexts.py has the following code in it:
parser_name = 'xml.sax.drivers.drv_' + parser_name

therefore you should create the parser with :

SAXparser=xml.sax.saxexts.make_parser("xmlproc")

This may have been a recent change. I just started in with
Python XML stuff. I have downloaded the xml-0_5.zip
version.

Thanks for putting that doc on-line. I found it very helpful.
