'Set the byte stream (a Python file-like object which does
not perform byte-to-character conversion) for this input
source.
The SAX parser will ignore this if there is also a character
stream specified, but it will use a byte stream in preference
to opening a URI connection itself.
If the application knows the character encoding of the byte
stream, it should set it with the setEncoding method.'
