Python将字典转换为XML的方法

from xml.etree.ElementTree import Element

def dict_to_xml(tag, d):
'''
Turn a simple dict of key/value pairs into XML
'''
elem = Element(tag)
for key, val in d.items():
  child = Element(key)
  child.text = str(val)
  elem.append(child)
return elem

>>> s = { 'name': 'GOOG', 'shares': 100, 'price':490.1 }
>>> e = dict_to_xml('stock', s)
>>> e
<Element 'stock' at 0x1004b64c8>

>>> from xml.etree.ElementTree import tostring
>>> tostring(e)
b'<stock><price>490.1</price><shares>100</shares><name>GOOG</name></stock>'

>>> e.set('_id','1234')
>>> tostring(e)
b'<stock _id="1234"><price>490.1</price><shares>100</shares><name>GOOG</name>
