[Zope] Illegal character in content

[Ed Colmar]

I've been struggling with this error that I assumed was an illegal
character in xml-rpc, but I went through the process of removing all the
non-alphanumeric characters I could find...  No Luck.

I'm hoping someone else has seen this, and that I've just done something
dumb.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's the error + trace:

 Error Type: Error
Error Value: Syntax error at line 3397: illegal character in content

Then here is the "update performer list" call..  The indents are getting
wacked but is there anything obviously worng?


    def update_performer_list(self, server):
        """ get all performers from the server """
        print "[connecting to]"
        print server
        addcount = 0
        updatecount = 0
        starRaveMasterServer = Server(server)
#        try:
        serverPerformers = starRaveMasterServer.get_all_performers()
#        except:
#            print "could not connect"
#            serverPerformers = []
#        print serverPerformers
        self.SQL_remove_current_flags()
        if len(serverPerformers) > 0:
            for performer in serverPerformers:
#                print performer
                country = performer['country']
                state = performer['state']
                city = performer['city']

                description = performer['description']
                performerurl = performer['performerurl']
                exists =

                if exists[0]['count'] == 0:
                    addcount = addcount + 1
