you confuse unicode with utf8. Expat can parse the latter - the former is internal to python. And passing it to something that needs a string will result in a conversion - which fails because of the ascii encoding.
Ahh... that makes sense. I kept thinking that if I'm working with unicode strings, I should be passing around unicode objects. What you say makes sense, though, that the PyExpat understands UTF-8 encoded strings. Working with unicode objects in Python is so transparent, it's easy to forget about what a C extension would likely want.
Thanks Diez and Just for the quick responses!
