title: Python gives 'Not well-formed xml' error because of presence of '&' characters
body: <p>I am reading an xml file using Python. But my xml file contains <code>&amp;</code> characters, because of which while running my Python code, it gives the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: not well-formed (invalid token):
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way to ignore the <code>&amp;</code> check by python?</p>
