[lxml-dev] How to set an attribute with a xml-namepace

[Grimm, Markus]

Hi all,

I want to set a new element with an attribute using the xml-namespace,
f.e.

 >>   xml = "<root xml:space=\"preserve\"/>"
 >>   root = etree.fromstring(xml)
 >>   print etree.tostring(root)
 <root xml:space="preserve"/>

everything fine, and now...

>> root = etree.Element("root", space="preserve")
>> print etree.tostring(root)
<root space="preserve"/>

How can I bind the space-attribute to the xml-namespace, so I can output
the same result as above ?

Thanks,
Markus
