How to insert a CSV within xml element tag using Python?
Hi Team,
I have a CSV file which I have to read through and needs to insert the content within an XML file using Python ONLY ( as most of the code base we have in python only). I managed to find the first part, missing how to insert to XML under "specific" tags.
Code:
cat input.csv
Host,PUBLICIP,PRIVATEIP,RAC
hactive,10.47.47.196,427.47.47.196,01
hpassive,10.47.47.197,47.47.47.197,01
hutility,10.47.47.198,47.47.47.198,01
datanode1,10.47.47.199,47.47.47.199,01
datanode2,10.47.47.207,47.47.47.207,01

Code:
import os,sys
import csv
from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET

str = ""

with open('input.csv', mode='r') as csv_file:
    csv_reader = csv.DictReader(csv_file)
    for row in csv_reader:
        str += '<Host_name="' + row["Host"] + '" Private_Addr="' + row["PRIVATEIP"] + '" Public_Addr="' + row["PUBLICIP"] + '" RACK_NO="' + row["RAC"] + '"/> \n'
    print(str.rstrip())

I want to insert the above output in to the below XML, in between <HostNames>:

Code:
                        <HostNames>
                                <Host name="node3" Pvt_IPADDR="47.47.47.197" Pub_IPADDR="10.47.47.197" RACK_NO="01"/>
                                <! --- The string I formatted , I want to put here" -->
                        </HostNames>


Note: <HostNames> tag can be any where in the config.xml and new "str" I want to put to the end of <HostNames> only.

Any help, really appreciable.

hotswaprc

HOTSWAPRC(5)							File Formats Manual						      HOTSWAPRC(5)

NAME

       hotswaprc - configuration file for  hotswap

DESCRIPTION

       /etc/hotswaprc is the global configuration file for the hotswap utility.

       It  allows system administrators to specify arbitrary shell scripts to be run after a device is inserted, as well as before and after it is
       removed. Scripts are selected according to the model name retrieved from the device. This is particularly helpful for automatic	configura-
       tion of CD-RW drives, which require SCSI emulation and bypass normal access via the IDE subsystem.

       hotswaprc  is  implemented  as  an  Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) application.  XML documents are structured using elements of the form
       <tag-name> content <tag-name>. A Document Type Definition (DTD) describes the possible content of each element.

       Please refer to the XML specification for more information. The hotswap distribution also contains an example file,  doc/hotswaprc.example,
       which includes the DTD for the configuration file format.

ELEMENTS

       <hotswap>
	      This is the root element of the document. Each valid hotswaprc must contain exactly one <hotswap> element. The <hotswap> element may
	      contain an arbitrary number of <device> elements.

       <device>
	      The configuration file contains one <device> element for every device for which scripts are defined. The <device>  element  is  com-
	      posed of the following elements in this order: <name>, <post-insert>, <pre-remove>, <post-remove>. All but <name> are optional.

       <name> The content of this element is the model identification string of the IDE device the current <device> element refers to.

       <post-insert>
	      Contains the shell script that is to be executed after the device has been inserted and registered with the kernel.

       <pre-remove>
	      Contains the shell script that is to be run before hotswap attempts to unregister the device.

       <post-remove>
	      Contains the shell script that is to be run after the device had been unregistered.
