The code you posted causes an exception because the string I get is not
ASCII, but iso-latin-1 :

  File
"/usr/lib/python2.1/site-packages/_xmlplus/sax/drivers2/drv_xmlproc.py",
line 336, in handle_start_tag
    AttributesNSImpl(attrs, rawnames))
  File "xmlproctest.py", line 15, in startElementNS
    write(qname)
  File "xmlproctest.py", line 9, in write
    sys.stdout.write((x or "").encode("ISO-8859-1") + "\n")
UnicodeError: ASCII decoding error: ordinal not in range(128)
