I came up with a pretty good workaround for the first question: f = BytesIO() with etree.xmlfile(f) as xf: element = helper_library.create_root_element(...) with xf.element(tag=element.tag, attrib=element.attrib, nsmap=element.nsmap): xf.write('text')
But answers to the second question would still be appreciated :) _______________________________________________ lxml - The Python XML Toolkit mailing list -- lxml@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to lxml-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/lxml.python.org/ Member address: arch...@mail-archive.com
