{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"pyexpat: xmlparser is actually XMLParserType","articleBody":"The type of the Expat parser is referred everywhere as `xmlparser`, although no anchor for this reference is defined. But this type is actually exposed in the `pyexpat` (public API is `xml.parsers.expat`) module as `XMLParserType` since 2000 (4ba298c3253d5c4d11cf822619457701b7b248c0). The class name is `xmlparser`.\n\n```pycon\n\u003e\u003e\u003e import xml.parsers.expat\n\u003e\u003e\u003e xml.parsers.expat.__name__\n'xml.parsers.expat'\n\u003e\u003e\u003e xml.parsers.expat.XMLParserType\n\u003cclass 'pyexpat.xmlparser'\u003e\n\u003e\u003e\u003e xml.parsers.expat.XMLParserType.__name__\n'xmlparser'\n\u003e\u003e\u003e xml.parsers.expat.XMLParserType.__qualname__\n'xmlparser'\n\u003e\u003e\u003e xml.parsers.expat.XMLParserType.__module__\n'pyexpat'\n```\n\nI was planned to add an anchor for the `xmlparser` class, but since it is available as `XMLParserType`, should not we simply change its name and all references in the documentation to `XMLParserType`? Or add an alias `xmlparser`? (the question is why it was not used from the beginning.)\n\n\n\n\u003c!-- gh-linked-prs --\u003e\n### Linked PRs\n* gh-144456\n\u003c!-- /gh-linked-prs --\u003e\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/serhiy-storchaka","@type":"Person","name":"serhiy-storchaka"},"datePublished":"2025-10-29T19:44:37.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/140771/cpython/issues/140771"}
