Richard urwin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Here is a patch of my quick hack, more for interest than any suggestion it gets used. Although it does produce good output so long as you avoid the BOM.
The full solution is beyond my (very weak) Python skills. The character encoding is tied in with XML character substitution (& etc. and hexadecimal representation of multibyte characters). I could disentangle it, but I probably wouldn't produce optimal Python, or indeed anything that wouldn't inspire mirth and/or incredulity. NB. The workaround suggested by Fredrik Lundh doesn't solve our particular problems, since the downsize to UTF-8 causes the multi-byte characters to be represented in hex. Our software doesn't read those. (I know that's our problem.)
