How to POST an xml element in python

Question

Basically I have this xml element (xml.etree.ElementTree) and I want to POST it to a url. Currently I\'m doing something like

xml_string = xml.etree.ElementTree

No, I think that's probably the best way to do it - it's short and simple, what more could you ask for? Obviously the XML has to be converted to a string at some point, and unless you're using an XML library with builtin support for POSTing to a URL (which xml.etree is not), you'll have to do it yourself.
