[Stelios]

New submission from Stelios:

import xml.etree.cElementTree as ET

events = ET.Element('Events')
tree = ET.ElementTree(events)
tree.write('test.xml', xml_declaration=True, encoding='UTF-8')

writes to file:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<Events />

Where opening tag <Events> is missing
