It seems xml.etree.cElementTree.iterparse() is not unicode aware: >>> from StringIO import StringIO >>> from xml.etree.cElementTree import iterparse >>> s = >>> u'<name>\u03a0\u03b1\u03bd\u03b1\u03b3\u03b9\u03ce\u03c4\u03b7\u03c2</name>' >>> for event,elem in iterparse(StringIO(s)): ... print elem.text ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "<string>", line 64, in __iter__ UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 6-15: ordinal not in range(128)
Am I using it incorrectly or it doesn't currently support unicode ? George -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
