Parses an XML section into an element tree incrementally, and reports what's
going on to the user. *source* is a filename or :term:`file object` containing
XML data. *events* is a list of events to report back. If omitted, only "end"
events are reported. *parser* is an optional parser instance. If not
given, the standard :class:`XMLParser` parser is used. Returns an
:term:`iterator` providing ``(event, elem)`` pairs.

containing XML data. *events* is a list of events to report back. The
supported events are the strings ``"start"``, ``"end"``, ``"start-ns"``
and ``"end-ns"`` (the "ns" events are used to get detailed namespace
information). If *events* is omitted, only ``"end"`` events are reported.
*parser* is an optional parser instance. If not given, the standard
:class:`XMLParser` parser is used. Returns an :term:`iterator` providing
