I have written the below code to create moderately large XML file, wherein I will be creating nodes in loop.
import xml.etree.cElementTree as ET
number = 0
def xml_write(number,doc):
ET.SubElement(doc, "extra-TextID", used="true").text = ""+str(number) ##in each loop number will be changed from 0 to 9
while number != 10:
doc = ET.Element("message")
xml_write(number,doc)
tree = ET.ElementTree(doc)
tree.write('XML_file.xml')
number = number + 1
But running the above code I am only getting the last node, ie, with "9" in the last line. Data is getting replaced in the file. How to append it so that I will get all the nodes containing 0 to 9 in each node.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
-<message>
<source>Rain</source>
<translations language="Dev">Cyclone</translations>
<extra-TextID used="true">9</extra-TextID>
<message>
I need to get xml file as:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
-<message>
<source>Rain</source>
<translations language="Dev">Cyclone</translations>
<extra-TextID used="true">0</extra-TextID>
<message>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
-<message>
<source>Rain</source>
<translations language="Dev">Cyclone</translations>
<extra-TextID used="true">1</extra-TextID>
<message>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
-<message>
<source>Rain</source>
<translations language="Dev">Cyclone</translations>
<extra-TextID used="true">3</extra-TextID>
<message>
.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
-<message>
<source>Rain</source>
<translations language="Dev">Cyclone</translations>
<extra-TextID used="true">9</extra-TextID>

The ElementTree library would not dump an XML with multiple root elements . If you want to have this kind of output in the XML file, append the generated elements manually:
with open('XML_file.xml', 'wb') as f:
while number != 10:
doc = ET.Element("message")
xml_write(number, doc)
f.write(ET.tostring(doc, method="xml"))
number += 1
