Mark Lawrence <breamore...@yahoo.co.uk> added the comment: This is how toprettyxml looks in 3.1/2 which seems to meet the OP's need, I'll close in a few days time unless someone objects.
def toprettyxml(self, indent="\t", newl="\n", encoding=None): # indent = the indentation string to prepend, per level # newl = the newline string to append use_encoding = "utf-8" if encoding is None else encoding writer = codecs.getwriter(use_encoding)(io.BytesIO()) if self.nodeType == Node.DOCUMENT_NODE: # Can pass encoding only to document, to put it into XML header self.writexml(writer, "", indent, newl, encoding) else: self.writexml(writer, "", indent, newl) if encoding is None: return writer.stream.getvalue().decode(use_encoding) else: return writer.stream.getvalue() ---------- nosy: +BreamoreBoy status: open -> pending _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3075> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
