How to write Python ElemenTree as XML File?

Question

My Code

tree = ET.Element('e')
tree.attrib['u'] = 'F' + str(srh) + '_0'
if procedural_variables:
    pvs = ET.SubElement(tree, 'pvs')
    for procedural_variable in procedural_variables:
        pv = ET.SubElement(pvs, 'pv')

        n = ET.SubElement(pv, 'n')
        n.text = procedural_variable['name']

        v = ET.SubElement(pv, 'v')
        v.text = str(procedural_variable['value'])
ET.dump(tree)

How can I write this tree as some file.xml?

It seems like you should be able to use ET.tostring. Alternatively, you could use the .write method of the ElementTree class

file_out=open('output.xml','wb',1000)
ElementTree(file_out).write(tree,encoding="ASCII")
file_out.close()

Just recommend lxml to you. You can google it or click http://lxml.de.

It is pretty easy to use and robust! The API is rather close to that of ET, if not identical.
