Hello All,

I am using elementtree to write an XML document and I am having a hard
time adding the correct indentation.
I have tried using the indent method, but I can not figure out how to
use it. Any suggestions.

Using the version of indent() found on
http://effbot.org/zone/element-lib.htm:

>>> from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET
>>> x='<a><b /><c /><d>stuff</d><e><f /></e></a>'
>>> e=ET.fromstring(x)
>>> ET.dump(e)

<a><b /><c /><d>stuff</d><e><f /></e></a>
>>> indent(e)
>>> ET.dump(e)

<a>
  <b />
  <c />
  <d>stuff</d>
  <e>
    <f />
  </e>
</a>

-Mark
