XML header with lxml

[Jabba Laci]

Hi,

I want to construct an XML file with lxml but I don't find how to add
the '<?xml version="1.0"?>' header.

from lxml import etree as ET

html = ET.Element("html")
print ET.tostring(html)

simply prints
<html/>

Thanks,

Laszlo

Add the "xml_declaration=True" as an argument of etree.tostring().

Ah, yes. That's the right way to do it (if you need it).
