This is retrieved through a webservice and stored in a variable test
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<!-- DTD for xmltest-->
<!DOCTYPE testtest [ <!ELEMENT testtest ( test*)>
<!ELEMENT test (#PCDATA)>]>
<testtest><test>æøå</test></testtest>
printing this out yields no problems, so the trouble seems to be when executing
the following:
doc = minidom.parseString(test)
Then I get this error:
File "C:\Plone\Python\lib\site-packages\_xmlplus\dom\minidom.py", line 1918, in
parseString
return expatbuilder.parseString(string)
File "C:\Plone\Python\lib\site-packages\_xmlplus\dom\expatbuilder.py", line
940, in parseString
return builder.parseString(string)
File "C:\Plone\Python\lib\site-packages\_xmlplus\dom\expatbuilder.py", line
223, in parseString
parser.Parse(string, True)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 157-159:
ordinal not in range(128)
In the top of the file, I have put this statement: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

Can you give an example of how this is done?
Thanks again for all help!
