In all examples, the code below outputs 'Hello World', but mine:
<Element html at 0x2ab9540>
Can you please tell me what's the problem here?

data = """<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>Привет мир</body>
</html>"""
html = lxml.html.document_fromstring(data)
print (html)

>>> import lxml.html
>>> html = lxml.html.fromstring('''\
...    <html><body onload="" color="white">
...      <p>Hi  !</p>
...    </body></html>
... ''')

>>> print lxml.html.tostring(html)
<html><body onload="" color="white"><p>Hi !</p></body></html>

>>> print lxml.html.tostring(html)
<html> <body color="white" onload=""> <p>Hi    !</p> </body> </html>

>>> print lxml.html.tostring(html)
<html>
  <body color="white" onload="">
    <p>Hi !</p>
  </body>
</html>

1. Use unicode.
2. Refer to text by tags:

from lxml import html
data = u"""<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>Привет мир</body>
</html>"""
html = html.document_fromstring(data)
print html.head.body.text
In [1]: Привет мир

It can not be. You get everything right.
Either the example was incorrectly rewritten, or the example is incorrect.
