Cool. :-)

Python has unicode support ever since version 2.0
Attached follows my patch to your python script, those work for me. I just
tried to make it work, not more not less. ;-)
FWIW I have used the old fashion method of searching with google:

Not necessary as I have shown but why not to use the gnu convention (?)
and pass "-" as the argument when you want to say read from the standard
input:
if credits_file != "-":
credits = open(credits_file)
else:
credits = sys.stdin

Again using google ;-) I found this
http://python.prokmu.com/topics/parsing.html
I don't think there is any generic parser in the standard library,
although there are specific parser for xml, html and others...

No thanks, I pass. ;-)
