ElementTree cannot parse UTF-8 Unicode?

[Erik Bethke]

There is something wrong with the physical file... I d/l a trial
version of XML Spy home edition and built an equivalent of the korean
test file, and tried it and it got past the element tree error and now
I am stuck with the wxEditCtrl error.

To build the xml file in the first place I had code that looked like
this:

d=wxFileDialog( self, message="Choose a file",
defaultDir=os.getcwd(), defaultFile="", wildcard="*.xml", style=wx.SAVE
| wxOVERWRITE_PROMPT | wx.CHANGE_DIR)
if d.ShowModal() == wx.ID_OK:
# This returns a Python list of files that were selected.
paths = d.GetPaths()
layout = '<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n'
L1Word = self.t1.GetValue()
L2Word = 'undefined'

layout += '<Vocab>\n'
layout += '    <Word L1=\'' + L1Word + '\'></Word>\n'
layout += '</Vocab>'
open( paths[0], 'w' ).write(layout)
d.Destroy()

So apprantly there is something wrong with physically constructing the
file in this manner?

Thank you,
