Method Details [hide private]

__init__(found_citation_fn)
(Constructor)

source code 

found_citation_fn is called with the PMID, MedlineID, start, end where start and end are offsets from the beginning of the parse, with slice semantics.

Overrides: xml.sax.handler.ContentHandler.__init__

startElement(self, name, attrs)

source code 

Signals the start of an element in non-namespace mode.

The name parameter contains the raw XML 1.0 name of the element type as a string and the attrs parameter holds an instance of the Attributes class containing the attributes of the element.

Overrides: xml.sax.handler.ContentHandler.startElement
(inherited documentation)

endElement(self, name)

source code 

Signals the end of an element in non-namespace mode.

The name parameter contains the name of the element type, just as with the startElement event.

Overrides: xml.sax.handler.ContentHandler.endElement
(inherited documentation)

characters(self, content)

source code 

Receive notification of character data.

The Parser will call this method to report each chunk of character data. SAX parsers may return all contiguous character data in a single chunk, or they may split it into several chunks; however, all of the characters in any single event must come from the same external entity so that the Locator provides useful information.

Overrides: xml.sax.handler.ContentHandler.characters
(inherited documentation)
