print() first gets the object as a string. tostring() returns bytes,
and bytes.__str__ returns the same as bytes.__repr__. You can decode
the bytes before printing, or instead use tounicode():

    >>> s = etree.tounicode(root, pretty_print=True)
    >>> print(s)
    <root>
      <child/>
      <child>some text</child>
    </root>
