xml unknown encoding: big5

[Ray B. X. Zhou]

I use xml.sax to parse big5 encoding xml file.
And I got message "unknown encoding: big5".
What can I do?
Thank you very much.

Install CJKCodecs? (Just a guess).

That helps, but is insufficient. Expat (or, atleast, pyexpat)
supports only single-byte non-UTF charsets. To parse multi-byte
charsets, you need xmlproc (from PyXML), and you need to tell
xml.sax to use xmlproc (e.g. by asking for drv_xmlproc).
