Well, to parse XML, it's best to use an XML parser. ;) Stefan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Well, to parse XML, it's best to use an XML parser. ;) Well, I'm not speaking about my software :-) Actually it's Gnucash which complains if the tag is not explicitly set. This is because they appearently had a ancient version which did not specify the charset, but used a different one than UTF-8. Kind of annoying, but fixing my XML output seems to be easier than convincing the Gnucash people to change their software :-) Kind regards, Johannes -- Meine Gegenklage gegen dich lautet dann auf bewusste Verlogenheit, verlästerung von Gott, Bibel und mir und bewusster Blasphemie. -- Prophet und Visionär Hans Joss aka HJP in de.sci.physik 48d8bf1d$0$7510$54022...@news.sunrise.ch -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Well, depends on what your code currently does. Maybe you could use something like doc.xmlwrite(..., encoding='UTF-8') Stefan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Testing: Test it and help us discover all bugs that might show up in there. Please enter each and every bug into bugzilla. Translating: The new release comes with some new translation strings. If you consider contributing a translation, we invite you to test this release already. A string freeze will be announced in one of the later 2.3.x releases. Please check http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Translation_Status for updates on this. We would like to encourage people to test this and any further releases as much as possible and submit bug reports in order that we can polish GnuCash to be as stable as possible for the 2.4.0 release in a few weeks. Then post any bugs you find to bugzilla (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GnuCash) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Well, it's not as if it's a bug of GnuCash. This is a deliberate decision used to ensure backwards compatibility with older versions of GnuCash. So a bug report wouldn't really do good anything at all (Please remove your backwards compatibility feature, it annoys me and I only use recent versions anyways).
