[XML-SIG] parsing chinese characters

[Fabian López]

Thanks  Stefan,
the problem was in print statement, so I decided to catch and ignore that
exception error because chinese characters don't interest to me. The
document wasn't broken. Finally it works well.Parser worked well.
Thanks for your support!
