How to add an xml-stylesheet processing instruction node with Python 2.6 and minidom?

I meet a issue about using the minidom by python. I need add a line like

<?tag XXXXX?>

However, I find this is not a DOM, it seems that I can't use the DOM to manipulate. Is there anyway to do it?

This is an XML processing instruction.

You want the createProcessingInstruction() API method. See

for an example.

You're issue is that it is the header. The answer then could be found here or just add the header and footer around the code like so:

return header + 'xmlstring' + footer
