Amaury Forgeot d'Arc added the comment:
Your file contains the byte \x1a == EOF.
You should not open it in text mode, but in binary mode, otherwise it's
truncated.
import xml.sax
xml.sax.parse(open("ff1a.xml", 'rb'), xml.sax.ContentHandler())
works on all versions I tried.

New submission from Gianfranco :
When parsing a UTF-16 little-endian encoded XML file containing some japanese
characters, the xml.sax.parse function raises a SAXParseException exception
saying "no element found". Problem arises with/on:
Python 2.5.2/Windows XP Pro SP3 32 bit
Python 2.6.4/Wind
