Can you show the code where you populate the XMLBuilder? I'm guessing
you're doing something like::
import xmlbuilder
builder = xmlbuilder.XMLBuilder()
builder.foo = dict(bar='® and ™')
str(builder)
That breaks because the string '® and ™' is not properly encoded. Have
you declared an encoding in your source file? PEP 263 shows you how:
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/
Note that with Python 2.5 the code above gives a SyntaxError without a
proper encoding. You should also probably be prefixing your string
literals containing weird characters with "u" to make them unicode.
Doing both of these in the code above made it work for me.
