products in the code is a list of dictionaries which are returned by
makeProduct function.

I'm not typing or pasting those characters into my script. So,
declaring an encoding didn't make it. :-( But, your code excerpt
runned well.

I have tried "f.write(unicode(xml))" for the last line of the script.
No success.

I think we should think about how we can achieve the effect of
"sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')"
