python写xml多了ns0,使用Python ElementTree创建不带ns0名称空间的SVG / XML文档

I'm building an SVG document with ElementTree in Python 2.7. Here is the code:

from xml.etree import ElementTree as etree

root = etree.XML('')

root.append(etree.Element("path"))

root[0].set("d", "M1 1 L2 2 Z")

print etree.tostring(root, encoding='iso-8859-1')

This generates the output:

This does not parse as valid SVG.

How can I remove the ns0 namespace?

解决方案

I just figured it out and I can't delete the question so here it is:

etree.register_namespace("","http://www.w3.org/2000/svg")

I think this only works as of Python 2.7 though.
