I did a little bit ('little bit!') of a workaround to get past the 
config problem.

I downloaded the xml file and edited out the offending entry - it was 
the macron for Maori, as others have indicated.  I uploaded that file to 
my own server.  Edited the script so it would grab the xml from my 
server.  And then I was able to do the config without error.  Then just 
changed the script back to look at the right spot for the regular 
downloading...

Far from elegant, but I wasn't able to get past the python necessary to 
get it going 'the right way'.
