Hello, The bug occurs when writing an XML file using the UTF-16 encoding. The problem is that the etree encodes every string to utf-16 by itself - meaning, inserting the 0xfffe BOM before every string (tag, text, attribute name, etc.), causing a badly formed utf=16 strings. A possible solution, which was offered by a co-worker of mine, was to use a utf-16 writer (from codecs.getwriter('utf-16') to write the file. Best, BugoK.
