where is the Write method of ElementTree??

[gray.bowman@gmail.com]

I'm messing around with trying to write an xml file using
xml.etree.Eleme ntTree. All the examples on the internet show the use
of ElementTree.wri te(), although when I try to use it it's not
available, gives me ...

ElementTree(sec tionElement).wr ite("section.xm l")
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable


I'm new to python, so I think I'm doing something wrong.. any
thoughts?

Thanks.'


See code below:

# Create xml structure
sectionElement = ElementTree.Ele ment("section")

# step through feed result and create elements for each article -
result[article]
for article in feedResult:
articleElement = ElementTree.Ele ment("article")

titleElement = ElementTree.Sub Element(article Element, "title")
titleElement.te xt = article['title']

bodyElement = ElementTree.Sub Element(article Element, "body")
bodyElement.tex t = article['body']

sectionElement. append(articleE lement)

#print ElementTree.tos tring(sectionEl ement)
ElementTree(sec tionElement).wr ite("section.xm l")

It's complaining about
ElementTree(wha tever)
As it says, you are trying to call a module.

Looks like you need:
sectionElement. write("section. xml")

I guess you did

from xml.etree import ElementTree

Then you should do this:

ElementTree.Ele mentTree(sectio nElement).write ("section.xm l")

sadly, the module names in ET are upper case and look like classes...

That was it! Thanks to both of you for helping.
