Hello,

when using the following xpath in an selector

sel.xpath(u".//div[text()='Dateigröße:')]//following-sibling::*/descendant-or-self::text()")


I get the error

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scrapy/selector/unified.py", 
line 172, in xpath

    return self.__class__(flatten([x.xpath(xpath) for x in self]))

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scrapy/selector/unified.py", 
line 100, in xpath

    raise ValueError(msg if six.PY3 else msg.encode("unicode_escape"))
ValueError: Invalid XPath: 
//div[text()='Dateigr\xf6\xdfe:')]//following-sibling::*/descendant-or-self::text()


The encoding of the python source file is utf-8 and signaled by the comment

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-


at the top of the file. What am I doing wrong?

Cheers
Tobias Bell
