Use the .tail attribute on the br element: In [1]: from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET In [4]: p = ET.Element('p') In [5]: p.text = 'Current date:' In [6]: br = ET.SubElement(p, 'br') In [7]: br.tail = '2000-01-01' In [8]: ET.dump(p) <p>Current date:<br />2000-01-01</p> -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
