Делаю так

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from xml.dom import minidom

dom = minidom.parse("scheme.xml")

В ответ получаю так

andreyv@andreyv:~/Документы/py/xml$ ./readxml.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./readxml.py", line 6, in <module>
    dom = minidom.parse("scheme.xml")

    return expatbuilder.parse(file)
