New submission from Karthikeyan Singaravelan <tir.kar...@gmail.com>:
Now that XML has pretty print option with issue14465 would it be handy to add a command line tool pretty printer similar to json.tool? This can be written as one-liner similar to json pretty printing but I think it's a good option and having a command line tool also helps in piping the output to other commands like filtering particular tags. I tried searching mailing list and couldn't find any discussions along these lines. There were some concerns around using external tools and in https://bugs.python.org/issue14465#msg324098 . I thought to open this to gather feedback.
