I load my .x_t parasolid file for the geometry and then get the next error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I tried reading another geometry file also x_t, and it worked. So I guess there is something wrong with my file. From the error I posted above, can we know what is wrong? Some kind of setup problem, encoding?

    This error seems to be associated with unicode.  Are there any non-English characters present in the part names or feature names in the CAD model?  If there are, try replacing them, then export the model again.  Another option is to try exporting the model as ACIS (if your CAD package supports this).  That may handle the unicode strings differently.
