XML-RPC is a Remote Procedure Call method that uses XML passed via HTTP as a transport. With it, a client can call methods with parameters on a remote server (the server is named by a URI) and get back structured data. xmlrpc is a package that collects server and client modules implementing XML-RPC. The modules are: xmlrpc.client xmlrpc.server

XMLReader.setProperty(propertyname, value) Set the propertyname to value. If the property is not recognized, SAXNotRecognizedException is raised. If the property or its setting is not supported by the parser, SAXNotSupportedException is raised.

XMLReader.setLocale(locale) Allow an application to set the locale for errors and warnings. SAX parsers are not required to provide localization for errors and warnings; if they cannot support the requested locale, however, they must raise a SAX exception. Applications may request a locale change in the middle of a parse.

XMLReader.setFeature(featurename, value) Set the featurename to value. If the feature is not recognized, SAXNotRecognizedException is raised. If the feature or its setting is not supported by the parser, SAXNotSupportedException is raised.

XMLReader.setErrorHandler(handler) Set the current error handler. If no ErrorHandler is set, errors will be raised as exceptions, and warnings will be printed.

XMLReader.setEntityResolver(handler) Set the current EntityResolver. If no EntityResolver is set, attempts to resolve an external entity will result in opening the system identifier for the entity, and fail if it is not available.

XMLReader.setDTDHandler(handler) Set the current DTDHandler. If no DTDHandler is set, DTD events will be discarded.

XMLReader.setContentHandler(handler) Set the current ContentHandler. If no ContentHandler is set, content events will be discarded.

XMLReader.parse(source) Process an input source, producing SAX events. The source object can be a system identifier (a string identifying the input source – typically a file name or a URL), a file-like object, or an InputSource object. When parse() returns, the input is completely processed, and the parser object can be discarded or reset. Changed in version 3.5: Added support of character streams.

XMLReader.getProperty(propertyname) Return the current setting for property propertyname. If the property is not recognized, a SAXNotRecognizedException is raised. The well-known propertynames are listed in the module xml.sax.handler.
