Currently you cannot add namespaces to XML documents directly as it is not yet supported in the in built Python xml package. So you will need to add namespace as a normal attribute to the tag. For example,
import xml.dom.minidom doc = xml.dom.minidom.Document() element = doc.createElementNS('https://hello.world/ns', 'ex:el') element.setAttribute("xmlns:ex", "https://hello.world/ns") doc.appendChild(element) print(doc.toprettyxml())
This will give you the document,
<?xml version="1.0" ?> <ex:el xmlns:ex="https://example.net/ns"/>
