We will go over the three common ways to output XML from Python:
- Direct printing of the output text
- Using an XML library like ElementTree
- Using a templating system like Genshi
Some pros and cons of each will be explored.
The main focus will be on the Genshi based Python script used to create KML from the APRS system.
