There is something wrong with the physical file... I d/l a trial version of XML Spy home edition and built an equivalent of the korean test file, and tried it and it got past the element tree error and now I am stuck with the wxEditCtrl error.
To build the xml file in the first place I had code that looked like this: d=wxFileDialog( self, message="Choose a file", defaultDir=os.getcwd(), defaultFile="", wildcard="*.xml", style=wx.SAVE | wxOVERWRITE_PROMPT | wx.CHANGE_DIR) if d.ShowModal() == wx.ID_OK: # This returns a Python list of files that were selected. paths = d.GetPaths() layout = '<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n' L1Word = self.t1.GetValue() L2Word = 'undefined' layout += '<Vocab>\n' layout += ' <Word L1=\'' + L1Word + '\'></Word>\n' layout += '</Vocab>' open( paths[0], 'w' ).write(layout) d.Destroy() So apprantly there is something wrong with physically constructing the file in this manner?
