    Python 3.0b2 will not parse the XML file located at
    http://rubyquiz.com/SongLibrary.xml.gz

    It complains of a UnicodeEncodeError
    'charmap' codec can't encode character '\xc8' in position 45: ch
    aracter maps to <undefined>

    I included a sample program, just in case I was doing something wrong
    while coding.

    Python 3.0b2 (r30b2:65106, Jul 18 2008, 18:44:17) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
    (Intel)] on win32

    The encoding used by the windows terminal (usually cp850) is not able to
    encode all the characters, so when you print the text that you extract
    from the xml file the terminal is not able able to display some
    characters. If you remove the print() it works fine. You can also try to
    write the results on a file using utf-8.
