LXML是最近更新的，包含一个漂亮的打印函数

import lxml.etree as etree

x = etree.parse("filename")
print etree.tostring(x, pretty_print=True)

查看lxml教程: http://lxml.de/tutorial.html

下面是一个Python3解决方案，它消除了难看的换行符问题(大量空白)，并且与大多数其他实现不同，它只使用标准库。

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
import xml.dom.minidom
import os

def pretty_print_xml_given_root(root, output_xml):
    """
    Useful for when you are editing xml data on the fly
    """
    xml_string = xml.dom.minidom.parseString(ET.tostring(root)).toprettyxml()
    xml_string = os.linesep.join([s for s in xml_string.splitlines() if s.strip()]) # remove the weird newline issue
    with open(output_xml, "w") as file_out:
        file_out.write(xml_string)

def pretty_print_xml_given_file(input_xml, output_xml):
    """
    Useful for when you want to reformat an already existing xml file
    """
    tree = ET.parse(input_xml)
    root = tree.getroot()
    pretty_print_xml_given_root(root, output_xml)

我找到了如何修复常见的换行符问题在这里。

import xml.dom.minidom

dom = xml.dom.minidom.parse(xml_fname) # or xml.dom.minidom.parseString(xml_string)
pretty_xml_as_string = dom.toprettyxml()

我用几行代码解决了这个问题，打开文件，通过它并添加缩进，然后再次保存它。我使用的是小的xml文件，不想添加依赖项，也不想为用户安装更多的库。总之，这是我最后得出的结论:

    f = open(file_name,'r')
    xml = f.read()
    f.close()

    #Removing old indendations
    raw_xml = ''        
    for line in xml:
        raw_xml += line

    xml = raw_xml

    new_xml = ''
    indent = '    '
    deepness = 0

    for i in range((len(xml))):

        new_xml += xml[i]   
        if(i<len(xml)-3):

            simpleSplit = xml[i:(i+2)] == '><'
            advancSplit = xml[i:(i+3)] == '></'        
            end = xml[i:(i+2)] == '/>'    
            start = xml[i] == '<'

            if(advancSplit):
                deepness += -1
                new_xml += '\n' + indent*deepness
                simpleSplit = False
                deepness += -1
            if(simpleSplit):
                new_xml += '\n' + indent*deepness
            if(start):
                deepness += 1
            if(end):
                deepness += -1

    f = open(file_name,'w')
    f.write(new_xml)
    f.close()

这对我来说很有用，也许有人会用到它:)

我在寻找“如何漂亮地打印html”时发现了这个问题

使用这篇文章中的一些想法，我调整了XML解决方案，以适用于XML或HTML:

from xml.dom.minidom import parseString as string_to_dom

def prettify(string, html=True):
    dom = string_to_dom(string)
    ugly = dom.toprettyxml(indent="  ")
    split = list(filter(lambda x: len(x.strip()), ugly.split('\n')))
    if html:
        split = split[1:]
    pretty = '\n'.join(split)
    return pretty

def pretty_print(html):
    print(prettify(html))

使用时是这样的:

html = """\
<div class="foo" id="bar"><p>'IDK!'</p><br/><div class='baz'><div>
<span>Hi</span></div></div><p id='blarg'>Try for 2</p>
<div class='baz'>Oh No!</div></div>
"""

pretty_print(html)

返回:

<div class="foo" id="bar">
  <p>'IDK!'</p>
  <br/>
  <div class="baz">
    <div>
      <span>Hi</span>
    </div>
  </div>
  <p id="blarg">Try for 2</p>
  <div class="baz">Oh No!</div>
</div>

我遇到了这个问题，我是这样解决的:

def write_xml_file (self, file, xml_root_element, xml_declaration=False, pretty_print=False, encoding='unicode', indent='\t'):
    pretty_printed_xml = etree.tostring(xml_root_element, xml_declaration=xml_declaration, pretty_print=pretty_print, encoding=encoding)
    if pretty_print: pretty_printed_xml = pretty_printed_xml.replace('  ', indent)
    file.write(pretty_printed_xml)

在我的代码中，这个方法是这样调用的:

try:
    with open(file_path, 'w') as file:
        file.write('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>')

        # create some xml content using etree ...

        xml_parser = XMLParser()
        xml_parser.write_xml_file(file, xml_root, xml_declaration=False, pretty_print=True, encoding='unicode', indent='\t')

except IOError:
    print("Error while writing in log file!")

这只是因为etree默认使用两个空格来缩进，我发现这不是很强调缩进，因此不漂亮。我找不到任何树的设置或任何函数的参数来改变标准树缩进。我喜欢使用etree的简单性，但这真的让我很恼火。
