`xml.sax.InputSource`¶

class xml.sax.InputSource(system_id=None)[source]¶

Encapsulation of the information needed by the XMLReader to read entities.

This class may include information about the public identifier, system identifier, byte stream (possibly with character encoding information) and/or the character stream of an entity.

Applications will create objects of this class for use in the XMLReader.parse method and for returning from EntityResolver.resolveEntity.

An InputSource belongs to the application, the XMLReader is not allowed to modify InputSource objects passed to it from the application, although it may make copies and modify those.
