Warnings

gotcha Using the .element() method on the xmlfile context manager may negatively affect performance. It's recommended to create Elements and write them directly.
Fix: Avoid using the .element() method; instead, create Elements and write them directly.

Install

pip install et-xmlfile Install et-xmlfile

Imports

xmlfile
```
from et_xmlfile import xmlfile

Quickstart

A minimal example demonstrating how to use et-xmlfile to create an XML file in memory.

from io import BytesIO
from xml.etree.ElementTree import Element
from et_xmlfile import xmlfile

out = BytesIO()
with xmlfile(out) as xf:
    el = Element('root')
    xf.write(el)

assert out.getvalue() == b'<root />'
