I'm trying to create xml that corresponds to structure of directory (with subdirectories and files in that subdirs). When I try to use this example: Best way to generate xml? instead of output from example, that is:
<root>
<child/>
<child>some text</child>
</root>
I've got:
b'<root>\n <child/>\n <child>some text</child>\n</root>\n'
Why is it so? Uses PyCharm IDE if it matters.
'\\n' is a Line feed char (LF).
When you, for instance, save your output to a file and open it in some editor, you'll get what you expect.
Your output is fine.
This is a change in Python 3. etree.tostring()
is returning a bytes literal, which is denoted by b'string value'
. Note that whenever you see \\n
in the bytes literal it means the same as a new line if you print it out to a file.
You can turn this into a regular string using s = s.decode('utf-8')
.
