New submission from ed wolf <bq...@cummins.com>:

When executing the following command after modifiy an xml file an error is 
prodcued.

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
rtexmlFile = 'Fox_CM3550A_SWP1_Rte_ecuc.arxml'
rte_ecu_tree = ET.parse(rtexmlFile)
root = rte_ecu_tree.getroot()

rte_ecu_tree.write(rtexmlFile, encoding="UTF-8", xml_declaration="True", 
default_namespace="None" method="xml",short_empty_elements="True" )

ValueError: cannot use non-qualified names with default_namespace option

The documentation for the ElementTree.write function indicates the following 
format for this command but this format does not seem to wrok

The write command does not also take into account when having standalone in the 
xml defintion. For ex,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

ElementTree.write will not add standalone back to the xml file

Is this a bug in version 3.7?


write(file, encoding="us-ascii", xml_declaration=None, default_namespace=None, 
method="xml", *, short_empty_elements=True)
Writes the element tree to a file, as XML. file is a file name, or a file 
object opened for writing. encoding 1 is the output encoding (default is 
US-ASCII). xml_declaration controls if an XML declaration should be added to 
the file. Use False for never, True for always, None for only if not US-ASCII 
or UTF-8 or Unicode (default is None). default_namespace sets the default XML 
namespace (for “xmlns”). method is either "xml", "html" or "text" (default is 
"xml"). The keyword-only short_empty_elements parameter controls the formatting 
of elements that contain no content. If True (the default), they are emitted as 
a single self-closed tag, otherwise they are emitted as a pair of start/end 
tags.

The output is either a string (str) or binary (bytes). This is controlled by 
the encoding argument. If encoding is "unicode", the output is a string; 
otherwise, it’s binary. Note that this may conflict with the type of file if 
it’s an open file object; make sure you do not try to write a string to a 
binary stream and vice versa.
