I have several programs which traverse a Windows filesystem with French
characters in the filenames.
I have having trouble dealing with these filenames when outputting these
paths to an XML file - I get UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't
decode byte 0xe9 ... etc. That happens when I try to c

summary of, but I am not sure of an approach to do what I need.
Here's a sample of the data:

Thanks for the help thusfar. To recap - when parsing XML, ElementTree
is barfing on extended characters.
1. Yes, most XML is written by monkeys, or the programs written by such
monkeys - tough beans, I cannot make my input XML any cleaner without
pre-processing - I am not generating it.
2. The d
I've been struggling with encodings in my XML input to Python programs.
Here's the situation - my program has no declared encoding, so it
defaults to ASCII. It's written in Unicode, but apparently that isn't
confusing to the parser. Fine by me. I import some XML, probably
encoded in the Windows
