Question

I am not able to use the pretty_print argument to print the xml. Any idea what could be wrong ?

I am attaching the code sample as well.

Thanks

import xml.etree.cElementTree as etree
import os

def main():

    root = etree.Element("root")

    Series = etree.SubElement(root, "Element")

    SeriesID = etree.SubElement(Series, "Index")
    SeriesID.text = "80379"


    #print str(etree)
    #print(etree.tostring(root, pretty_print=True))

    print(etree.tostring(root))

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Answer 1

xml.etree.ElementTree.tostring() does not have a pretty_print parameter.

lxml.etree.tostring() on the other hand has a pretty_print parameter.
