ElementTree handles namespaces just fine.
So is there a function to generate tags with namespace?
Yes, it's called "Element", as in
el = ET.Element('{http://the.name/space}tag')
Reading the docs helps a lot here.

no line breaks in xml file with elementTree
Hello all. I want to know if there is a way to have the ElementTree module write to an xml file with line breaks? I find that when I use the write function from the module on a tree object, the resulting file has no line breaks. I don't want to use prittyprint because it is adding extra tabs to the file and they are either counted as extra nodes or in case of element.text with elementtree, they are rendered as a part of the text, both being impractical results. So is there a middle approach where we can have some thing similar to prityprint but without the extra tabs and yet having a properly line breaked xml file? Further more, I just was curious why elementtree is not having the namespace facility? xml.dom.minidom has a way to generate tags with namespaces. Any thing similar in elementTree? happy hacking.
