python - How to use namespaces with xml.sax package -

i trying parse xml file, including namespaces, python xml.sax package, doesn't work. below find example internet, extended namespace "abc". can show me way work it?

this xml file:

<collection shelf="new arrivals">     <movie title="enemy behind">         <type>war, thriller</type>         <format>dvd</format>         <abc:year>2003</abc:year>         <rating>pg</rating>         <stars>10</stars>         <description>talk us-japan war</description>     </movie>     <movie title="transformers">         <type>anime, science fiction</type>         <format>dvd</format>         <abc:year>1989</abc:year>         <rating>r</rating>         <stars>8</stars>         <description>a schientific fiction</description>     </movie>     <movie title="trigun">         <type>anime, action</type>         <format>dvd</format>         <episodes>4</episodes>         <rating>pg</rating>         <stars>10</stars>         <description>vash stampede!</description>     </movie>     <movie title="ishtar">         <type>comedy</type>         <format>vhs</format>         <rating>pg</rating>         <stars>2</stars>         <description>viewable boredom</description>     </movie> </collection> 

this python code. without namespace, works.

from xml.sax import make_parser, handler   class handler(handler.contenthandler):       def __init__(self):         self.currentdata=""         self.type = ""         self.format = ""         self.year = ""         self.rating = ""         self.stars = ""         self.description = ""      def startelement(self, tag, attributes):         self.currentdata = tag         if tag == "movie":             print("*****movie*****")             title = attributes["title"]             print("title:", title)      def endelement(self, tag):         if self.currentdata == "type":             print("type:", self.type)         elif self.currentdata == "format":             print("format:", self.format)         elif self.currentdata == "year":             print("year:", self.year)         elif self.currentdata == "rating":             print("rating:", self.rating)         elif self.currentdata == "stars":             print("stars:", self.stars)         elif self.currentdata == "description":             print("description:", self.description)         self.currentdata = ""      def characters(self, content):         if self.currentdata == "type":             self.type = content         elif self.currentdata == "format":             self.format = content         elif self.currentdata == "year":             self.year = content         elif self.currentdata == "rating":             self.rating = content         elif self.currentdata == "stars":             self.stars = content         elif self.currentdata == "description":             self.description = content  parser = make_parser() p = handler() parser.setcontenthandler(p) parser.parse("sax03.xml")
