[Peter Cai]

New submission from Peter Cai <newptcai at gmail.com>:

xml.etree.ElementTree.fromstring doesn't work with Unicode string.  See the code below:

>>> from xml.etree import ElementTree
>>> t = ElementTree.fromstring(u'<doc>诗</doc>')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "D:\Python26\lib\xml\etree\ElementTree.py", line 963, in XML
    parser.feed(text)
  File "D:\Python26\lib\xml\etree\ElementTree.py", line 1245, in feed
    self._parser.Parse(data, 0)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u8bd7' in position 5
