python xml etree,如何使用python xml.etree在新文件中获取xml输出？

I am generating xml file using "from xml.etree import ElementTree" and placing the generated output in to a new file "test.xml". The output is getting placed inside the test.xml but there is no new line its a big big line. So, what shall i do to have new line inside "test.xml" . Following is the script:

from xml.etree import ElementTree

from xml.dom import minidom

from lxml import etree

def prettify(elem):

"""Return a pretty-printed XML string for the Element.

"""

rough_string = ElementTree.tostring(elem, 'utf-8')

reparsed = minidom.parseString(rough_string)

return reparsed.toprettyxml(indent=" ")

top = Element('my_document')

comment = Comment('Practising')

top.append(comment)

child = SubElement(top, 'my_information')

childs = SubElement(child,'my_name')

childs.text = 'This child contains text.'

print prettify(top)

file = open("test.xml", 'w')

xml.ElementTree(top).write(file)

file.close()

解决方案

Why don't you use the return value of the prettify? Writing the return value of the function will solve your problem.

...

top = Element('my_document')

comment = Comment('Practising')

top.append(comment)

child = SubElement(top, 'my_information')

childs = SubElement(child,'my_name')

childs.text = 'This child contains text.'

with open("test.xml", 'w') as f: #

f.write(prettify(top)) #
