XML Prettifying from file in Python
Question: I have an xml file which looks like the example below.

Many texts contain space as the start character, or have `\n` (newline) at the
beginning, or other crazy stuff. I'm working with `xml.etree.ElementTree`, and
it is good to parse from this file.

But I want more! :) I tried to prettify this mess, but without success. Tried
many tutorials, but it always ends without pretty XML.

    
    
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <import>
    <article>
    <name> Name with space
    </name>

When I tried another answers from SO it generates same file or more messy XML


Answer: [`bs4`](http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/doc/#) can do it

    
    
    from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
    
    doc = BeautifulSoup(xmlstring, 'xml')
    
    print doc.prettify()
