Althow it can produce structured result with identated child tags. `XMLBuilder` use python `with` statement to define xml tag levels and `<<` operator for simple cases - text and tag without childs. First we need to create xmlbuilder from xmlbuilder import XMLBuilder # params - encoding = 'utf8', # builder = None, - ElementTree.TreeBuilder # tab_level = None, - current tab l;evel - for formatted output only # format = False, - create formatted output # tab_step = " " * 4 - indentation step xml = XMLBuilder() Use `with` statement to make document structure #create and open tag 'root_tag' with text 'text' and attributes with xml.root_tag(text,attr1=val1,attr2=val2): #create and open tag 'sub_tag' with xml.sub_tag(text,attr3=val3): #create tag which are not valid python identificator with xml('one-more-sub-tag',attr7=val37): xml << "Some textual data" #here tag 'one-more-sub-tag' are closed #Tags without children can be created using `<<` operator for val in range(15): xml << ('message',"python rocks!"[:i]) #create 15 child tag like <message> python r</message> #all tags closed node = ~x # get etree.ElementTree object xml_data = str(x) unicode_xml_data = unicode(x) Keywords: xml Platform: UNKNOWN
