The standard Expat SAX Parser supplied with Python (xml.sax.expatreader.ExpatParser) does not set the document locator (using ContentHandler.setDocumentLocator) when you are doing an incremental parse (ie. using feed instead of parse), although it does supply the locator when you do a full parse. Is there a reason why this is so, or is it just an oversight?

an incremental parse (ie. using feed instead of parse),
although it does supply the locator when you do a full

Is there a reason why this is so, or is it just an
