Class OAIRecordsParser

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature

Overrides: object.__init__

(inherited documentation)

Begin the scope of a prefix-URI Namespace mapping.

The information from this event is not necessary for normal Namespace processing: the SAX XML reader will automatically replace prefixes for element and attribute names when the http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces feature is true (the default).

There are cases, however, when applications need to use prefixes in character data or in attribute values, where they cannot safely be expanded automatically; the start/endPrefixMapping event supplies the information to the application to expand prefixes in those contexts itself, if necessary.

Note that start/endPrefixMapping events are not guaranteed to be properly nested relative to each-other: all startPrefixMapping events will occur before the corresponding startElement event, and all endPrefixMapping events will occur after the corresponding endElement event, but their order is not guaranteed.

Overrides: xml.sax.handler.ContentHandler.startPrefixMapping

(inherited documentation)

End the scope of a prefix-URI mapping.

See startPrefixMapping for details. This event will always occur after the corresponding endElement event, but the order of endPrefixMapping events is not otherwise guaranteed.

Overrides: xml.sax.handler.ContentHandler.endPrefixMapping

(inherited documentation)

Signals the start of an element in namespace mode.

The name parameter contains the name of the element type as a (uri, localname) tuple, the qname parameter the raw XML 1.0 name used in the source document, and the attrs parameter holds an instance of the Attributes class containing the attributes of the element.

The uri part of the name tuple is None for elements which have no namespace.

Overrides: xml.sax.handler.ContentHandler.startElementNS

(inherited documentation)

Signals the end of an element in namespace mode.

The name parameter contains the name of the element type, just as with the startElementNS event.

Overrides: xml.sax.handler.ContentHandler.endElementNS

(inherited documentation)

Receive notification of character data.

The Parser will call this method to report each chunk of character data. SAX parsers may return all contiguous character data in a single chunk, or they may split it into several chunks; however, all of the characters in any single event must come from the same external entity so that the Locator provides useful information.

Overrides: xml.sax.handler.ContentHandler.characters

(inherited documentation)

fixes the namespace prefix of name if necessary.

name must be a qualified name, i.e., contain exactly one colon.

"normalize" here means make sure the prefix matches our canonical prefix and change it to the canonical one if necessary.
