ignoring chinese characters parsing xml file

[Fabian López]

Thanks, I have tried all you told me. It was an error on print statement. So
I decided to catch the exception if I had an UnicodeEncodeError, that is, if
I had chinese/japanese characters because they don't interest to me and it
worked.
The strip_asian function of Ryan didn't work well here, but it's a good idea
for next goals.
Thanks a lot!
Fabian
