OK Don, thank you for your patience. This is what I need the file to 
look like:

<gpx>

    <wpt lat="-32.506533000" lon="137.740017000">
     <name>1</name>
   </wpt>
</gpx>

and this is what I've currently got:

<gpx>
   <wpt lat="-32.506533000" lon="137.740017000" />
   <name name="1" />
</gpx>

This is the code that generates the above file:

from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET

   gpx = ET.Element("gpx")

   wpt = ET.SubElement(gpx, "wpt", lat="-32.506533000", lon= 
"137.740017000")
   name = ET.SubElement(gpx, "name", name="1")

There aren't any syntax errors in the code, only logic errors. The logic 
errors generate  the wpt block ending symbol at the end of the first 
line and the name entry is completely wrong.

The pasted code is just a sample of what I've tried. I've attempted to 
adapt every piece of example code that I can find but without success. 
Getting lat and lon on the same line, without the block closing symbol, 
has been the source of the problem.
