Message: This was due to some mediawiki extensions adding white lines in top of generated XML, which makes the XML invalid.

The obvious solution is to fix your installation to remove that empty line.

We, however, have also "fixed" the issue on the pywikipedia side, to remove the headers before parsing the XML.
