When I tried your workaround, I still got this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 4, in <module>
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/_xmlplus/sax/__init__.py",
line 31, in parse
parser.parse(filename_or_stream)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/_xmlplus/sax/expatreader.py",
line 109, in parse
xmlreader.IncrementalParser.parse(self, source)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/_xmlplus/sax/xmlreader.py",
line 119, in parse
self.prepareParser(source)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/_xmlplus/sax/expatreader.py",
line 121, in prepareParser
self._parser.SetBase(source.getSystemId())
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe5' in
position 0: ordinal not in range(128)
The open(..) part works fine, but there still seems to be a problem inside the
sax parser.
