Hi, I've got to deal with a pretty huge XML-document, and to do so I use the cElementTree.iterparse functionality. Working great.
Only trouble: The guys creating that chunk of XML - well, lets just say they are "encodingly challanged", so they don't produce utf-8, but only cp1252 instead, together with some weird name (Windows-1252) for that. That is not part of the standard codecs module. cp1252 is, of course. But that won't work for iterparse. So currently, I manually change the encoding given to utf-8, and use a stream-recoder. However, I was wondering if I could teach cElementTree about that encoding name. I tried to register cp1252 under the name Windows-1252, but had no luck - cET won't buy it. Any suggestions?
