The elementTree.write() method takes an optional encoding parameter. For it to work, all the strings you put in your tree must be either ascii or unicode. > The source encoding is UTF-8 ( # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- ) Any strings you put in the elementtree should be u"" strings. > But I also want that the program shows its messages in differents > languages, so it's necessary writting (>>>print 'Message') in UTF-8 by > default 'Message' is already UTF-8; any 7-bit ASCII string is also a valid UTF-8 string. If you have non-ASCII strings you should encode them in the encoding of your terminal with print u'Message'.encode('utf-8').
