[Soap-Python] rpclib regressions

[azurIt]

Hi,

i just tried to upgrade to 2.5.2 (from 2.4.5) and i come accross HUGE problems. first of all, there is no 'soft' validation in protocol/xml/_base.py so this:
in_protocol=Soap11(validator='soft')

was raising ValueError. I fixed it in code and strange things started to happend then:
SAXParseException: <unknown>:1:30: unknown encoding

i wasn't able to fix this and downgraded back to 2.4.5 :(
