only one value of a list gets saved in a xml text in python

Here's an example of how to save only one value from a list in an XML file using Python's built-in xml.etree.ElementTree module:

main.py
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

# Example list
my_list = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'date']

# Select item at index 1 (second item) to be saved in XML
index_to_save = 1
value_to_save = my_list[index_to_save]

# Create XML elements
root_elem = ET.Element('items')
item_elem = ET.SubElement(root_elem, 'item')
item_elem.text = value_to_save

# Write XML to file
with open('my_file.xml', 'wb') as file:
    file.write(ET.tostring(root_elem))
446 chars
18 lines

In this example, the value 'banana' at index 1 of the my_list list is saved as the text content of an <item> element in an XML file named my_file.xml. If you want to save a different value from the list, just change the value of the index_to_save variable.
