Here is actual code:

from lxml import etree
root = etree.Element("doi_batch", attrib={
               'xmlns': "http://www.crossref.org/schema/4.4.0", 
               'xmlns:xsi': 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance', 
               "version": "4.4.0", 
               "xsi:schemaLocation": "http://www.crossref.org/schema/4.4.0 http://www.crossref.org/schema/deposit/crossref4.4.0.xsd"
               })
print(etree.tostring(root, encoding="UTF-8", 
                     method="xml", xml_declaration=True, pretty_print=True))

The problem is that some attributes require to have colon in their names, so I'm getting error in output. Is there any solution for this type of errors?

Namespace prefix declarations are not attributes. See duplicate link for how to add default namespaces and namespace prefix declarations to an element in lxml. – kjhughes Apr 03 '19 at 11:37
