def setDocumentLocator(self, locator) 

Description

help(ContentHandler.setDocumentLocator)

Called by the parser to give the application a locator for
        locating the origin of document events.

        SAX parsers are strongly encouraged (though not absolutely
        required) to supply a locator: if it does so, it must supply
        the locator to the application by invoking this method before
        invoking any of the other methods in the DocumentHandler
        interface.

        The locator allows the application to determine the end
        position of any document-related event, even if the parser is
        not reporting an error. Typically, the application will use
        this information for reporting its own errors (such as
        character content that does not match an application's
        business rules). The information returned by the locator is
        probably not sufficient for use with a search engine.

        Note that the locator will return correct information only
        during the invocation of the events in this interface. The
        application should not attempt to use it at any other time.
