Bug #3430: Error parsing PubMedCentral XML files
https://redmine.open-bio.org/issues/3430
Author: Paulo Nuin
Status: New
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Biopython Dev Mailing List
Category: Main Distribution
Target version:

It seems that there is an error parsing locally downloaded PubMedCentral xml (extension nxml) files. Using the code
@
from Bio import Entrez
handle = open('nihms83342.nxml')
records = Entrez.parse(handle)
for record in records:
print record
@
the following error occurs (copied from iPython), even though the XML header contains the declaration
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NotXMLError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-5-e78d8d3c3888> in <module>()
2 handle = open('nihms83342.nxml')
3 records = Entrez.parse(handle)
----> 4 for record in records:
5 print record
/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/Bio/Entrez/Parser.pyc in parse(self, handle)
229 # We did not see the initial <!xml declaration, so
230 # probably the input data is not in XML format.
--> 231 raise NotXMLError("XML declaration not found")
232 self.parser.Parse("", True)
233 self.parser = None
NotXMLError: Failed to parse the XML data (XML declaration not found). Please make sure that the input data are in XML format.
The XML file in question is attached.
