"write" in the sense of typing in a text editor? Or constructing one 
programmatically in memory? Or ... ?

And what kind of data from what kind of source do you want to put into the 
document?

All of that has an impact on the 'right' answer.

If you mean to build an XML document programmatically, potentially using 
data that you get from somewhere, take a look at cElementTree. There's also 
a short recipe for pretty printing the tree before writing it out.
