    The xmllib.XMLParser seems to be unable to parse
    an XML file that contains cyrillic characters.

    File "xmllib.pyc", line 172, in feed
    File "xmllib.pyc", line 268, in goahead
    File "xmllib.pyc", line 798, in syntax_error
    Error: Syntax error at line 8: illegal character in content

    I have attached xmllib.py. This file is in python23\lib folder.

    The strings in XML file are in cyrillic language.

    My code:
    import xmllib

    class Parser(xmllib.XMLParser):
    # a simple styling engine

    def __init__(self):
        xmllib.XMLParser.__init__(self)
        self.cursupervisore = None
        self.curdata        = ''

        self.elements = {'Superv':(self.starttag_superv, self.endtag_superv)
........
                        }
    def load(self, file):
        while 1:
            s = file.readline()

            if not s:
                break
            self.feed(s)
        self.close()

def read_plant_tree(filexml):
      c = Parser()
      c.load(filexml)

    See also bpo-222587. Seems this was the reason why the xmllib module was deprecated.

    Use the xml package for parsing XML (xml.etree.ElementTree, xml.dom.minidom, xml.sax, etc).
