Hi! I'm processing a large number of xml files that are all declared
as utf-8 encoded in the header ie.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
My Python environment has been set for 'utf-8' through site.py.
Additionally, the top of each program/module has the declaration:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
But, I still get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u201c' in
position 76: ordinal not in range(128)
What am I missing?

Hi,
Take a read through http://evanjones.ca/python-utf8.html which will give
you insight as to how you should be reading and processing your files.
As for the encoding line "# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-", that is actually to
declare the character encoding of your script and not of potential data
it will be working with.
