"pretty_print" does not work well for xml shown in python3.x

There is a string object with xml content. In python, I used etree to pretty print it. It works well in python 2.x, but fails to be shown in python 3.x.

from lxml import etree
print etree.tostring(etree.fromstring(patternXML), pretty_print=True)

I expect the xml is shown well as line breaks, but the actual output is bytes type and "\n" is shown instead of line break.

It has been resolved by changing "tostring" to "tounicode" as below.

print etree.tounicode(etree.fromstring(patternXML), pretty_print=True)
