[Expat-discuss] 'ASCII encoding error' with encoding 'iso-8859-1'

[Ken Ward]

Hello,

I'm using expat from Python 2.1.1 on RedHat Linux.  I think it's expat
1.95.1, based on running 'strings' on the library.

I'm trying to parse a file with Latin-1 characters above 128.  I set the
encoding to "iso-8859-1" in ParserCreate, but I get this error:
UnicodeError: ASCII encoding error: ordinal not in range(128)

Is this expected to work in that old version?

Thank you,
Ken Ward
