Here is a xml-file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><rss xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" version="2.0" xmlns:ls="https://www.littlstar.com">

        <link></link>

....

and here is source code. it's very simple

f = open(xmlpath, 'r')
data = f.read()
f.close()

soup = BeautifulSoup(data, 'html.parser')
print(soup.prettify())

and... result is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:ls="https://www.littlstar.com">

...

I lost "link" and "image" tags.... How can I solve this problem?

I tried upgrade bs, and using lxml parsing module...

The .read() and .close() components are not required here.

simply 

with open(xmlpath) as fp:
    soup = BeautifulSoup(fp, 'html.parser')
    print(soup.prettify())
