Hello Fredrik, 1) The exact error is in line 1160 of self._parser.Parse(data, 0 ): xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: not well-formed (invalid token): line 3, column 16
2) You are right in that the print of the file read works just fine. 3) You are also right in that the digitally encoded unicode also works fine. However, this solution has two new problems: 1) The xml file is now not human readable 2) After ElementTree gets done parsing it, I am feeding the text to a wx.TextCtrl via .SetValue() but that is now giving me an error message of being unable to convert that style of string So it seems to me, that ElementTree is just not expecting to run into the Korean characters for it is at column 16 that these begin. Am I formatting the XML properly? Thank you, -Erik -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
