Hello,
Use the standard module (I use python2.7), code not tested If my memory 
is good this is the general way to do it:
from xml.dom import minidom
from xml.etree import ElementTree as et
from xml.etree.ElementTree import ElementTree, Element
fname = "my_input_file"
xml_data = et.parse(fname)
root_element = xml_data.getroot()
new_element = et.Element("new_tag")
root_element.append(new_element)
new_element.set('new_attribute', 'attribute value')
fout = "my_ouput_file"
fout.write(prettify(root_element))
Where prettify() is defined by:
def prettify(element):
 """
 Pretty print to an indented XML output.
 @param element a Element object.
 @return a pretty-printed XML string for the element.
 """
 # The idea is to print your Element in a string, parse it using
 # minidom and convert it again in XML using toprettyxml function.
 raw_string = et.tostring(element, encoding='UTF-8', method='xml')
 reparsed = minidom.parseString(raw_string)
 return reparsed.toprettyxml(indent='\t', encoding='UTF-8')
Cheers
