It's not the case, unless you have a wrong encoding. Then the whole XML-Document isn't a XML-document at all. Just putting an encoding header that doesn't match the actually used encoding won't fix that. Read up on what encodings are, and ensure your XML-generation respects that. Then reading these files will cause no problems. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
