Ok, same here. I tried it with Python 3.1.2 and it works for me.

So I think the right work-around for you in Python 2 is to encode the file 
name using whatever "sys.getfilesystemencoding()" returns.

And I agree with Chris Rebert that you should open a bug against the sax 
package in Python 2.7 on the bug tracker.
