This is an experimental implementation of the XPointer locator language.

Version 0.20 - 23.Aug.98
   <NAME> - <EMAIL>
   http://www.stud.ifi.uio.no/~larsga/download/python/xml/xptr.html

Changes since version 0.10:
 - 'id' locator term implemented
 - 'attr' locator term implemented
 - node type qualifiers implemented
 - 'origin' locator term implemented

Modified by Uche Ogbuji 25.Jan.99 to work with 4DOM.
Modified by Uche Ogbuji 18.Nov.99 to work with the emerging Python/DOM binding 4DOM.  Distributed with permission.

# Spec deviations:
# - html keyword not supported
# - negative instance numbers not supported
# - #cdata node type selector not supported
# - * for attribute values/names not supported
# - preceding keyword not supported
# - span keyword unsupported
# - support 'string' location terms

# Spec questions
# - what if locator fails?
# - what to do with "span(...).child(1)"?
# - how to continue from a set of selected nodes?
# - attr: error if does not use element as source?
# - should distinguish between semantic errors and failures?
# - can string terms locate inside attr vals?
# - are the string loc semantics a bit extreme? perhaps restrict to one node?
# - how to represent span and string results in terms of the DOM?

Changes since version 0.10:
 - 'id' locator term implemented
 - 'attr' locator term implemented
 - node type qualifiers implemented
 - 'origin' locator term implemented

# Spec deviations:
# - html keyword not supported
# - negative instance numbers not supported
# - #cdata node type selector not supported
# - * for attribute values/names not supported
# - preceding keyword not supported
# - span keyword unsupported
# - support 'string' location terms

# Spec questions
# - what if locator fails?
# - what to do with "span(...).child(1)"?
# - how to continue from a set of selected nodes?
# - attr: error if does not use element as source?
# - should distinguish between semantic errors and failures?
# - can string terms locate inside attr vals?
# - are the string loc semantics a bit extreme? perhaps restrict to one node?
# - how to represent span and string results in terms of the DOM?

This is an experimental implementation of the XPointer locator language.  Version 0.20 - 23.Aug.98    <NAME> - <EMAIL>    http://www.stud.ifi.uio.no/~larsga/download/python/xml/xptr.html  Changes since version 0.10:  - 'id' locator term implemented  - 'attr' locator term implemented  - node type qualifiers implemented  - 'origin' locator term implemented  Modified by Uche Ogbuji 25.Jan.99 to work with 4DOM. Modified by Uche Ogbuji 18.Nov.99 to work with the emerging Python/DOM binding 4DOM.  Distributed with permission. # Spec deviations: # - html keyword not supported # - negative instance numbers not supported # - #cdata node type selector not supported # - * for attribute values/names not supported # - preceding keyword not supported # - span keyword unsupported # - support 'string' location terms # Spec questions # - what if locator fails? # - what to do with "span(...).child(1)"? # - how to continue from a set of selected nodes? # - attr: error if does not use element as source? # - should distinguish between semantic errors and failures? # - can string terms locate inside attr vals? # - are the string loc semantics a bit extreme? perhaps restrict to one node? # - how to represent span and string results in terms of the DOM? # Global variables # Useful regular expressions #[a-z]+|\\*|\"[^\"]*\"|'[^']*'") # Some exceptions # Simple XPointer lexical analyzer # Simple XPointer parser Simple XPointer parser that parses XPointers firing events that receive     terms and parameters. # Names can be defaulted # If the XPointer ends correctly, we'll return from the if above Called when a term is encountered to analyze it and fire more         detailed events. # XXX Validate parameter # Event methods to be overridden # ----- XPointer implementation that navigates a DOM tree # Iterator classes # Don't go down, we've been there :-) # Don't go down, we've been there :-) # We're above all the nodes we've looked at.
