Mixing
Create XML node with empty text content and with a named closing tag using ElementTree.SubElement
I can't seem to find a way to generate a sub-element like this
<child attr="something"></child>
Using the following code:
myChild = ElementTree.SubElement(root, tag="child", attrib={'attr': 'something'})
I always get:
<child attr="something" />
Unless I at least add:
whiteSpace = " "
myChild.text = whiteSpace
This is very annoying.
Is there a way that I can generate null text for the element with ElementTree?
UPDATES:
After some tries, I tend to agree that it really shouldn't matter. The reason why I asked is that I wanted to generate Xcode workspace file which uses empty content for it's project nodes. But I found that the default subElement actually works as well. So I won't put any more efforts in making the output XML in the "identical" format as the normal Xcode workspace.
Case closed.

The answer to the question is probably: There is no way to achieve what I wanted in the beginning.
But as the updates in my question said. The difference between the two mentioned formats really doesn't matter. They both work as valid XML.
