During the process of making my masters thesis I
discovered the need for a working getpos() in
sgmllib.py. As it is now you can successfully call it
since it is inherited from markupbase.py but you will
always get the answer (1,0) since it is never updated.

To fix this one needs to change the goahead function.
This is my own implementation of this change, in part
influenced by the "sister" goahead-function  in
HTLMParser.py:


************************************
def goahead(self, end):
        rawdata = self.rawdata
        i = 0
        k = 0
        n = len(rawdata)
        tmp=0
        while i < n:
            if self.nomoretags:
                self.handle_data(rawdata[i:n])
                i = n
                break
            match = interesting.search(rawdata, i)
            if match: j = match.start()
            else: j = n
            if i < j:
                self.handle_data(rawdata[i:j])
                tmp = self.updatepos(i, j)
            i = j
            if i == n: break
            startswith = rawdata.startswith
            if rawdata[i] == '<':
                if starttagopen.match(rawdata, i):
                    if self.literal:
                        self.handle_data(rawdata[i])
                        tmp = self.updatepos(i, i+1)
                        i = i+1
                        continue
                    k = self.parse_starttag(i)
                    if k < 0: break
                    tmp = self.updatepos(i, k)
                    i = k
                    continue
                if rawdata.startswith("</", i):
                    k = self.parse_endtag(i)
                    if k < 0: break
                    tmp = self.updatepos(i, k)
                    i = k
                    self.literal = 0
                    continue
                if self.literal:
                    if n > (i + 1):
                        self.handle_data("<")
                        i = i+1

****************************

The major diffrence is the updatepos functions. It
seems to work fine, or at least it has worked fine for
me so far.

Can you please post a context diff against the version in
CVS as an attachment?  Formatting is not preserved when
viewing through SF.  Thanks.

Added an attachment with the diffrence to the current file
version. This har three parts. The first is just updatepos
inserted at the correct places in the function goahead. The
second is from the part of the goahead function which
handles the &-characters. I had a hard time making it work
with the current model and changed it to a version inspired
by the same part of the goahead-function in HTMLParser.py.
The last is the printouts in the testfunction to check if
the function performs ok.

Anyone interested in this?  I found the patch unreadable but YMMV.

sgmllib has been deprecated since 2.6 and has been removed from py3k.
