BTW, I would suggest using x = re.sub(regex, '?', x) instead of the for loop. Thanks for posting this, it was very helpful to me.

I removed it. Perhaps it will un-break the feed now. A friend told me that the presence of the actual offending character was breaking Opera’s feed reader (probably, it also broke other readers).

Seriously though, that's pretty weird. I wonder what, if any, xml libraries have built-in options for omitting / ?-replacing the invalid characters? Last time I was pythoning, lxml and etree seemed like the new hotness WRT xml processing, so it would be interesting to peek at them. Not interesting enough for me to actually do it, mind you.
