Well, also detected it then ;-)

Also with utf-8 it wasn't working because it then uses str() on it.

Was also my thought to make it work with my specific application.
Though not the best one, I guess.

Yes, thought about this but wondered from where I get this variable.
Actually I never looked into the pyxml sources and thus am not so
familiar with it ;-)

I now fixed it as Fredrick suggested and removed the str(). If still
some error might come up I might use the fixed encoding stuff.

Thanks for the quick answers!
