where is the Write method of ElementTree??

I'm messing around with trying to write an xml file using
xml.etree.ElementTree. All the examples on the internet show the use
of ElementTree.write(), although when I try to use it it's not
available, gives me ...

ElementTree(sectionElement).write("section.xml")
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable
I'm new to python, so I think I'm doing something wrong.. any
thoughts?

Thanks.'
See code below:

# Create xml structure
sectionElement = ElementTree.Element("section")

# step through feed result and create elements for each article -
result[article]
for article in feedResult:
articleElement = ElementTree.Element("article")

titleElement = ElementTree.SubElement(articleElement, "title")
titleElement.text = article['title']

bodyElement = ElementTree.SubElement(articleElement, "body")
bodyElement.text = article['body']

sectionElement.append(articleElement)

#print ElementTree.tostring(sectionElement)
ElementTree(sectionElement).write("section.xml")

It's complaining about
ElementTree(whatever)
As it says, you are trying to call a module.

Looks like you need:
sectionElement.write("section.xml")

I guess you did

from xml.etree import ElementTree

Then you should do this:

ElementTree.ElementTree(sectionElement).write("sec tion.xml")

sadly, the module names in ET are upper case and look like classes...

That was it! Thanks to both of you for helping.
