Using file objects with elementtree

[dj]

Hello,

Rather then holding my XML document in memory before writing it to
disk, I want to create a file object that elementtree will write each
element to has it is created. Does any one know how to do that ?

Here is my code so, far:

fd = open("page.xml" , "w")
tree.write( fd, encoding="iso-8859-1")

I know there's something I am doing wrong, but I just do not know
what.

Sure. Relational databases are more widely useful. They're the
binary hold-on-disk for you-- a big XML file.

This isn't possible. How should ET handle the case that you add a
child-node to a node that has been rendered already?

What you could try is to serialize subtrees that are closed to a stream.

I'm pretty sure 'inputs' come from the real world. I guess the fear
would be my hands aren't happy. Concerns include age fitity, a
propriety, and making up words. Blah?

"Blah" is not made up. Try again.
