It sounds like you're working with t.w.microdom. I believe you'll want to use Document.writexml(). It's not documented in the code, and I haven't looked anywhere else, but you should be able to use it like this: def writexml(self, stream, indent='', addindent='', newl='', strip=0, nsprefixes={}, namespace=''): You'll probably want to ignore most of the parameters. I'm fairly sure indent, addindent,newl, and strip are related to pretty-printing. I've never used the namespace-related vars either, so I can't really tell you what they do ;-)... Also, in case it's not obvious, 'stream' should be a file object of some kind. To add attributes to your element, you can invoke createElement like this: document.createElement('abc', attributes={'m':'mvalue', 'n':'nvalue'}) Then just append() it normally as you've already done. -phil
