I'm having trouble using elementtree with an XML file that has some
gbk-encoded text. (I can't read Chinese, so I'm taking their word for
it that it's gbk-encoded.) I always have trouble with encodings, so I'm
sure I'm just screwing something simple up. Can anyone help me?
Here's the interactive session. Sorry it's a little verbose, but I
figured it would be better to include too much than not enough. I
basically expected et.ElementTree(file=...) to fail since no encoding
was specified, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong when I use
codecs.open(...)
Thanks in advance for the help!
