[Zope] Problems with German RSS feeds and ZExternalNewsProduct

[Joachim Werner]

Hi Olivier! (cc: to the zope.org list)

I've been experimenting with ZExternalNews for use on the EuroZope site. It
generally works very well, and it is cool because it threads the refreshing.
But with German RSS feeds like

http://www.heise.de/newsticker/heise.rdf or
http://www.tagesschau.de/newsticker.rdf

I am getting these errors:



Zope Error
Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource.

Error Type: UnicodeError
Error Value: ASCII encoding error: ordinal not in range(128)

Obviuously, something is wrong with the Unicode, either in the XML
documents, or in the Parser. Do you have a solution for that problem?
