Class XmlSaxHandler

Set up the xml parser.

Upon instantiation this function does the following:

• Creates a dictionary C{cls.versions} which maps each supported version strings onto a version integer.
• Creates a dictionary C{cls.games} which maps each supported game onto a list of versions.
• Makes an alias C{self.cls} for C{cls}.
• Initializes a stack C{self.stack} of xml tags.
• Initializes the current tag.

Overrides: xml.sax.handler.ContentHandler.__init__

Parameters:

• tag - The tag to put on the stack.

Returns:

The tag popped from the stack.

Called when parser starts parsing an element called C{name}.

This function sets up all variables for creating the class in the C{self.endElement} function. For struct elements, it will set up C{self.class_name}, C{self.class_bases}, and C{self.class_dict} which will be used to create the class by invokation of C{type} in C{self.endElement}. For basic, enum, and bitstruct elements, it will set up C{self.basic_class} to link to the proper class implemented by C{self.cls}. The code also performs sanity checks on the attributes.

For xml add tags, the function will add an entry to the C{self.class_dict["_attrs"]} list. Note that this list is used by the struct metaclass: the class attributes are created exactly from this list.

Parameters:

• name - The name of the xml element.
• attrs - A dictionary of attributes of the element.

Overrides: xml.sax.handler.ContentHandler.startElement

Overrides: xml.sax.handler.ContentHandler.endElement
