13.8.4 InputSource Objects

`setPublicId` (id)
  Sets the public identifier of this `InputSource`.

`getPublicId` ()
  Returns the public identifier of this `InputSource`.

`setSystemId` (id)
  Sets the system identifier of this `InputSource`.

`getSystemId` ()
  Returns the system identifier of this `InputSource`.

`setEncoding` (encoding)
  Sets the character encoding of this `InputSource`.

  The encoding must be a string acceptable for an XML encoding declaration (see section 4.3.3 of the XML recommendation).

  The encoding attribute of the `InputSource` is ignored if the `InputSource` also contains a character stream.

`getEncoding` ()
  Get the character encoding of this InputSource.

`setByteStream` (bytefile)
  Set the byte stream (a Python file-like object which does not perform byte-to-character conversion) for this input source.

  The SAX parser will ignore this if there is also a character stream specified, but it will use a byte stream in preference to opening a URI connection itself.

  If the application knows the character encoding of the byte stream, it should set it with the setEncoding method.

`getByteStream` ()
  Get the byte stream for this input source.

  The getEncoding method will return the character encoding for this byte stream, or None if unknown.

`setCharacterStream` (charfile)
  Set the character stream for this input source. (The stream must be a Python 1.6 Unicode-wrapped file-like that performs conversion to Unicode strings.)

  If there is a character stream specified, the SAX parser will ignore any byte stream and will not attempt to open a URI connection to the system identifier.

`getCharacterStream` ()
  Get the character stream for this input source.
