Do your xml file open correctly in Internet Explorer 6.0? It has quite
good parser. I am using xml.minidom for reading xml ant it works fine
with non-English characters. Eg. 

from xml.dom import minidom
xmlDoc = minidom.parse(myFilename)
# the following depends on content of your file
for myNode in xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('myXmlTag'):
	print myNode.firstChild.data
xmlDoc.unlink()
