Pretty printing XML in Python

Question

What is the best way (or are the various ways) to pretty print XML in Python?

Answer 1

Take a look at the vkbeautify module.

It is a python version of my very popular javascript/nodejs plugin with the same name. It can pretty-print/minify XML, JSON and CSS text. Input and output can be string/file in any combinations. It is very compact and doesn't have any dependency.

Examples:

import vkbeautify as vkb

vkb.xml(text)                       
vkb.xml(text, 'path/to/dest/file')  
vkb.xml('path/to/src/file')        
vkb.xml('path/to/src/file', 'path/to/dest/file')
