Re: [Tutor] Elementtree and pretty printing in Python 2.7
Hello Jerry, Tricky solution using minidom (standard) Not tested: import ElementTree import minidom def prettyPrint(element): txt = ElementTree.tostring(element) print minidom.parseString(txt).toprettyxml() Regards Karim On 08/22/2010 04:51 PM, Jerry Hill wrote: On Fri, Aug 20, 2010 at 3:49 AM, Knacktus wrote: Hi guys, I'm using Python 2.7 and the ElementTree standard-lib to write some xml.

Jerry Hill, 22.08.2010 16:51: Neither, as far as I know. The XML you get is perfectly valid XML. It's clearly well-formed, but I can't see it being valid without some kind of schema to validate it against. Note that the OP has already written a follow-up but forgot to reply to the original mail.

[Tutor] Elementtree and pretty printing in Python 2.7
Hi guys, I'm using Python 2.7 and the ElementTree standard-lib to write some xml. My output xml has no line breaks! So, it looks like that: instead of something like this: I'm aware of lxml which seems to have a pretty print option, but I would prefer to use the standard-lib ElementTree which seems not to have a feature like this. Do I miss something using the ElementTree-lib or is it bug?
