Including Additional Static Xml With Python

I need my current script to include additional xml. This is the script in its current form: import csv import sys from xml.etree import ElementTree from xml.dom import minidom vi

Solution 1:

Why don't you replace

print minidom.parseString(ElementTree.tostring(switch_tag)).toprettyxml()

with

 print header + ElementTree.tostring(switch_tag) + footer

Where header and footer are what is above and below the switch tag in your second example output, respectively. Alternatively, if you want to use the prettyxml(), remove the first line from its output.

'\n'.join(minidom.parseString(ElementTree.tostring(switch_tag)).toprettyxml().splitlines()[1:])
