I've checked this xml with your script, I think your locales
settings are not good.

$ ./parse.py 

XML file: test.xml
001 High School
002 Universität Bremen
003 River College

(name of xml file is "test.xml")

So, I started change the codepage mark of xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> - same result
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-2" ?> - same result
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> - same result

and then:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ascii" ?> - gives same error as you
described.

Try to change XML encoding.
