xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError.code

ExpatError.code

Expat’s internal error number for the specific error. The errors.messages dictionary maps these error numbers to Expat’s error messages. For example:

from xml.parsers.expat import ParserCreate, ExpatError, errors

p = ParserCreate()
try:
    p.Parse(some_xml_document)
except ExpatError as err:
    print("Error:", errors.messages[err.code])

The errors module also provides error message constants and a dictionary codes mapping these messages back to the error codes, see below.
