I'm using the lines of code below to prettyprint elementtree object in python 2.7:

xml_str = minidom.parseString(ET.tostring(tgt_xml.getroot())).toprettyxml(indent="\t", encoding='utf-8')
with open(final_path, "w") as f:
        f.write(xml_str)

It does it's job, but adds 2 blank lines after each line of xml ... so in result it looks like

<Workflow name="Some_name">


    <taskWorkflow>


        <taskWorkflow retainSysIds="false">


            <variables>


                <variable>


                    <description/>

Does anybody know how to prettyprint elementtree without the blank lines?

Are you sure it's not a Windows CR/LF thing? – Jongware May 04 '20 at 13:10
