title: list with special characters
body: <p>Using Python 2, I am saving strings from a variable (which is out of an xml tag) and am storing it into a list.</p>
  
  <p>First: the strings contain special character, when I print them they don't correctly show up even that am using encode("ISO-8859-1")</p>
  
  <p>Second: The strings show up each one in a list and I want them to be in the same list</p>
  
  <pre><code>import lxml.objectify
  from lxml import etree
  import codecs
  import xml.etree.cElementTree as ET
  file_path = "C:\Users\HP\Downloads\Morphalou-2.0.xml"
  for event, elem in ET.iterparse(file_path, events=("start", "end")):
      if elem.tag == 'orthography' and event =='start':
          data = elem.text
          my_list = []
          if data is not None :
              for i in data.split('\n'):
                  my_list.append(i.encode("ISO-8859-1"))
              print (my_list)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is what Am getting </p>
  
  <pre><code>['abiotique']
  ['abiotiques']
  [u'abi\xe9tac\xe9e']
  [u'abi\xe9tac\xe9e']
  [u'abi\xe9tac\xe9es']
  [u'abi\xe9tin']
  [u'abi\xe9tin']
  [u'abi\xe9tins']
  [u'abi\xe9tine']
  [u'abi\xe9tines']
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is what am expecting: </p>
  
  <pre><code>['abiotique','abiotiques','abiétacée',...]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how to fix this ? Thanks</p>
