where is the Write method of ElementTree??

2008-05-22 Thread gray . bowman 
I'm messing around with trying to write an xml file using
xml.etree.ElementTree.  All the examples on the internet show the use
of ElementTree.write(), although when I try to use it it's not
available, gives me ...

   ElementTree(sectionElement).write("section.xml")
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable


I'm new to python, so I think I'm doing something wrong.. any
thoughts?

Thanks.'


See code below:

# Create xml structure
sectionElement = ElementTree.Element("section")

# step through feed result and create elements for each article -
result[article]
for article in feedResult:
articleElement = ElementTree.Element("article")

titleElement = ElementTree.SubElement(articleElement, "title")
titleElement.text = article['title']

bodyElement = ElementTree.SubElement(articleElement, "body")
bodyElement.text = article['body']

sectionElement.append(articleElement)

#print ElementTree.tostring(sectionElement)
ElementTree(sectionElement).write("section.xml")

That was it!  Thanks to both of you for helping.
