You mean something like "encoded in UTF-8".

You can't encode Unicode

Now I know.
Okay, my answer is that cElementTree (in Python 2.5) is simply
deranged when it comes to Unicode. It assumes everything's ASCII.

No, decoding goes from a byte sequence to a Unicode string and encoding goes
from a Unicode string to a byte sequence.
Unicode is not an encoding.

Thank you for the response. Here's some more info, including a little
that you didn't ask me for but which might be useful.

If you want to convert the file names which use standard URL encoding
(with %20 for space, etc) use:
from urllib import unquote
new_filename = unquote(filename)
I have found this does not convert encoded characters of the form
'&#CC;' so you may have to do that manually. I think these are just
as

To ask another way: how do I convert from a file:// URL to a local
path in a standard way, so that filepaths from two different sources
will work the same way in a dictionary?
Right now I'm using the following source:
track_id = url2pathname(urlparse(track_id).path)
url2pathname is from urllib;
I'm trying to convert the URLs contained in iTunes' XML file into a
form comparable with the filenames returned by iTunes' COM interface.
I'm writing a podcast sorter in Python; I'm using iTunes under Windows
right now. iTunes' COM provides most of my data input and all of my
