If it is literally this line, it's no surprise: there must not be a line break between the slash and the closing element name. However, since you are getting the error in a different column, it's indeed more likely that there is a problem with the encoding. Given that the Python UTF-8 codec refuses the data, most likely, the data is *not* encoded in UTF-8 (but perhaps in Latin-1). If so, you need to prefix the XML document with a proper XML declaration, such as <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> Alternatively, make sure that the file is really encoded in UTF-8.
