I don't do a lot of SAX, but it looks to me like there's a bug in the 
xml.sax.saxutils InputSource which is likely to be the cause of your 
trouble. (Details to follow.)

Yes. I would suggest passing in a URI instead:

   filename= '../um_xml/um__ajay.xml'
   uri= 'file:'+urllib.pathname2url(os.path.abspath(filename))
   parser.parse(uri)
