It does not assume that. It *requires* byte strings to be ASCII.
You can't encode Unicode into an

From my experience (and from the source code I have seen so far), ElementTree
does not return UTF-8 encoded strings at the API level. Can you

If you want to convert the file names which use standard URL encoding
(with %20 for space, etc) use:
from urllib import unquote
new_filename = unquote(filename)
I have found this does not convert encoded characters of the form
'#CC;' so you may have to do that manually. I think these are just

No, decoding goes from a byte sequence to a Unicode string and encoding goes
from a Unicode string to a byte sequence.
Unicode is not an encoding. A
