python 解析xml遇到xml.etree.ElementTree.ParseError: not well-formed (invalid token): line 4, column 34

在调试数字驱动用xml文件的方式时，包含读取xml文件的步骤，运行程序报错：

d:\test\0629>python XmlUtil.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "XmlUtil.py", line 59, in <module>
    datas = xml.getDataFromXml()
  File "XmlUtil.py", line 45, in getDataFromXml
    root = self.getRoot()
  File "XmlUtil.py", line 17, in getRoot
    tree = ElementTree.parse(self.xmlPath)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\xml\etree\ElementTree.py", line 1182, in parse
    tree.parse(source, parser)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\xml\etree\ElementTree.py", line 656, in parse
    parser.feed(data)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\xml\etree\ElementTree.py", line 1659, in feed
    self._raiseerror(v)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\xml\etree\ElementTree.py", line 1523, in _raiseerror
    raise err
xml.etree.ElementTree.ParseError: not well-formed (invalid token): line 4, column 34

xml文件是本身手动新建的，内容是本身敲上去的，对比以前的好用的xml文件的内容，并无问题，注意力开始放在代码上了，怎么改都不行，后来几经调试，发现从新替换了xml文件就行了，文件内容检查过，并无问题，是个奇怪的问题，目前尚未重现

先记录一下这个问题
