Class _SAXElementState

The nearest enclosing complex type definition, as used for resolving local element/attribute names.

Returns:

An instance of basis.complexTypeDefinition, or None if the element is top-level

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature

Overrides: object.__init__

(inherited documentation)

Set the enclosing complex type definition for this element.

Parameters:

• enclosing_ctd (basis.complexTypeDefinition) - The scope for a local element.

Returns:

self

Actions upon first encountering an element for which we cannot create a binding.

Invoking this transitions the parser into DOM mode, creating a new DOM document that will represent this element including its content.

Actions upon entering an element that will produce a binding instance.

The element use is recorded. If the type is a subclass of basis.simpleTypeDefinition, a delayed constructor is recorded so the binding instance can be created upon completion of the element; otherwise, a binding instance is created and stored. The attributes are used to initialize the binding instance (now, or upon element end).

Parameters:

• type_class (subclass of basis._TypeBinding_mixin) - The Python type of the binding instance
• new_object_factory - A callable object that creates an instance of the type_class
• element_use (basis.element) - The element use with which the binding instance is associated. Will be None for top-level elements
• attrs (xml.sax.xmlreader.Attributes) - The XML attributes associated with the element

Returns:

The generated binding instance, or None if creation is delayed

Perform any end-of-element processing.

For simple type instances, this creates the binding instance.

Returns:

The generated binding instance
