13.5.5 Expat error constants
The following constants are provided in the errors object of
the xml.parsers.expat module. These constants are useful
in interpreting some of the attributes of the ExpatError
exception objects raised when an error has occurred.
The errors object has the following attributes:
- XML_ERROR_ASYNC_ENTITY
-
- XML_ERROR_ATTRIBUTE_EXTERNAL_ENTITY_REF
-
An entity reference in an attribute value referred to an external
entity instead of an internal entity.
- XML_ERROR_BAD_CHAR_REF
-
A character reference referred to a character which is illegal in XML
(for example, character
0, or `�').
- XML_ERROR_BINARY_ENTITY_REF
-
An entity reference referred to an entity which was declared with a
notation, so cannot be parsed.
- XML_ERROR_DUPLICATE_ATTRIBUTE
-
An attribute was used more than once in a start tag.
- XML_ERROR_INCORRECT_ENCODING
-
- XML_ERROR_INVALID_TOKEN

character; for example, a NUL byte (value
0) in a UTF-8 input
stream.

-
Something other than whitespace occurred after the document element.
- XML_ERROR_MISPLACED_XML_PI
-

A parameter entity reference was found where it was not allowed.

possibly via a different name, and possibly indirectly.

Some unspecified syntax error was encountered.
- XML_ERROR_TAG_MISMATCH
-
An end tag did not match the innermost open start tag.
- XML_ERROR_UNCLOSED_TOKEN

stream or the next token was encountered.
