------------------------------------------------------------------------
to this:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
from xml.sax.handler import ContentHandler
class ArticleHandler(ContentHandler):
"""A handler to deal with articles in XML"""
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** p. 54 -- Remove the following line of output from

last output paragraph |
The body part of the outpur from the art.py program is too long. It
should end after "completed " because self.body=self.body[:78]+
"...".
If you also used the spacing indentation in the article.xml example the
body part text should stop at "NASA has com"
*** No change required for reprint. But for confirmed errata page
say:
The exact end of the text will depend on the specific indentation used
in the article.xml file, as well as whether the indentation uses
space or tab characters.
*** p. 57-58 -- All double-underscores "__" in code and prose
should have a hair-space between the underscores. Would it be
possible to search all of Chapter 3 for this and fix all of them?
*** p60, Example 3-4. 9th line on page:
"def __init__(..." should be indented two spaces.
*** p68, Example 3-6, replace the first 11 lines:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
from xml.sax import ContentHandler
class SAXThumbs(ContentHandler):
"""
This is the SAX handler that generates a full-
image display (an .html page) for each image file
contained in the XML file.
It also adds an anchor on the thumbs page showing
the thumbnail, and linking to the big image page
that was created first.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
with these 11 lines:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
import os
from xml.sax import ContentHandler
class SAXThumbs(ContentHandler):
"""
This is the SAX handler that generates a full-image display (an
.html page) for each image file contained in the XML file.
It also adds an anchor on the thumbs page showing the thumbnail,
and linking to the big image page that was created first.
*** p68, Example 3-6, last 5 lines on page should be replaced with:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
fullImageFile = os.path.join(dir, localname[2:]) + ".html"
print "Will create:", fullImageFile
fullImageHTML = ('<html><body><img src="%s%s"></body></html>
'
% (localname[2:], ext))
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please keep all lines at current indentation.
*** p75, Example 3-9, startElement() method:
The "print" statement should be commented out; change:
print "* Processing:", s
to:
# print "* Processing:", s
Please maintain same indentation of line as we have now.
*** p. 98 -- fix the 2 "__" on this page by inserting hair spaces.
*** p. 100 -- fix the 2 "__" on this page by inserting hair spaces.
*** p153, command line example at bottom of page, first line should be:
C:>python c:python20xmldocdemoxmlprocxvcmd.py order.xml
In other words, change "$ " at beginning of line to "C:>"
*** p155, new_element_type() method, replace:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
def new_element_type(self, elem_name, elem_cont):
print "New Element Type Declaration: ", elem_name,
"Content Model: ", elem_cont
------------------------------------------------------------------------
with:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
def new_element_type(self, elem_name, elem_cont):
print "New Element Type Declaration: ", elem_name
print "Content Model: ", elem_cont
*** p168, command line example in the middle of the page should be:
C:9780596001285c7>python val.py BillSummary.xml
In other words change "c6" to "c7"
*** p173, Example 7-14, 3/4 of the way down the page, the line:
flatfile = query.getvalue("flatfile", "")[0]
should be:
flatfile = query.getvalue("flatfile", "")
In other words, drop the "[0]" at the end. Please maintain the
same indentation.
*** p174, Example 7-14, near the end, the line:
if veh.errors:
should read:
if hasattr(veh, "errors") and veh.errors:
{sample code - retrive.py}
the line -
print " of " + totalsize
should be
print " of ", totalsize

Last sentence of 1st paragraph |
Extra "you": "...the order you in which you..."
p. 239 -- first code example -- the line "else:" is out-dented
by one space; it should be moved right one space so that "else:"
lines up with "if e is not None:"
*** p244, Example 10-2, 1/3 of the way down the page, change:
raise exception.Exceptions("SQL Exec failed.")
to:
raise Exception("SQL Exec failed.")
Please maintain current indentation of line.
p. 261 -- code example at the top of the page (cont. from
previous page) -- "if(dom):" should be changed to simply
