New submission from Raymond Hettinger:
Currently, ElementTree doesn't support comments and processing instructions in
the prolog. That is the typical place to put style-sheets and document type
definitions.
It would be used like this:
from xml.etree.ElementTree import ElementTree, Element, Comment,
ProcessingInstruction
r = Element('current_observation', version='1.0')
r.text = 'Nothing to see here. Move along.'
t = ElementTree(r)
t.append(ProcessingInstruction('xml-stylesheet', 'href="latest_ob.xsl"
type="text/xsl"'))
t.append(Comment('Published at:
http://w1.weather.gov/xml/current_obs/KSJC.xml'))
That creates output like this:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="latest_ob.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<!--Published at: http://w1.weather.gov/xml/current_obs/KSJC.xml-->
<current_observation version="1.0">
Nothing to see here. Move along.
</current_observation>
