newbie: minidom

[Danny Scalenotti]

I'm not able to get out of this .......


from  xml.dom.minidom import getDOMImplementation

impl = getDOMImplementation()  // default UTF-8
doc = impl.createDocument(None, "test",None)
root = doc.documentElement
root.setAttribute('myattrib', '5')

print root.toxml()


I obtain

<test myattrib="5"/>



why not this?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<test myattrib="5"/>


thanks
