PYTHON 2.6 XML.ETREE to output single quote for attributes instead of double quote
Question: i got the following code :

    
    
    #!/usr/bin/python2.6  
    
    from lxml import etree  
    
    n = etree.Element('test')    
    n.set('id','1234')  
    print etree.tostring(n)  
    

the output generate is `<test id="1234"/>`  
but i want `<test id='1234'/>`

can someone help ?


Answer: I checked the documentation and found no reference for single/double-quote
option.

I think your only recourse is `print etree.tostring(n).replace('"', "'")`
