[XML-SIG] problems reading iso-8859-1 data

[Don Allingham]

I hope this is the correct spot to post this question.

I have an XML file with iso-8859-1 encoding. The sax parser (expat) 
seems to translating charaters above 128 to to separate characters. 
For example "é" in the xml file is being interpreted as "é" by the 
parser. (I'm running python 1.5.2 with PyXML 0.6.5)

Am I missing something obvious?
