I've been struggling with encodings in my XML input to Python programs. Here's the situation - my program has no declared encoding, so it defaults to ASCII. It's written in Unicode, but apparently that isn't confusing to the parser. Fine by me. I import some XML, probably encoded in the Windows character set (I don't remember what that's called now). I can read it for the most part - but it throws exceptions when it hits accented characters (some data is being input by French speakers). I am using ElementTree for my XML parsing
What I'm trying to do is figure out what I need to do to get my program to not barf when it hits an accented character. I've tried adding an encoding line as suggested here: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/ What these do is make the program fail to parse the XML at all. Has anyone encountered this? Suggestions? Thanks. -- yours, William _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
