In 3.1.3, 3.1.2, maybe earlier... xml.sax.parseString(string, handler, error_handler=handler.ErrorHandler()) Source code requires bytes, not a string as implied by function name and by the documentation. Exception thrown for strings. Since the name includes "string" the source should probably be fixed. Or at least update the documentation. Someday replace/augment parseString() with parseBytes()?
