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

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:
<Items><Project creation_date="heute"/></Items>
instead of something like this:
<Items>
<Project creation_date="heute"/>
</Items>
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?
Neither, as far as I know. The XML you get is perfectly valid XML.
If you want to pretty print it, there's a recipe here:
http://effbot.org/zone/element-lib.htm#prettyprint, but I don't think
it's been included in the standard library yet.
