To write results to a new file, you can use the write() function as follows:

EXAMPLE:

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

for description in myroot.iter('description'):

     new_desc = str(description.text)+'new text added'

     description.text = str(new_desc)

     description.set('updated', 'yes')

mytree.write('new.xml')

Here, I have added some more text and an attribute to a tag named description that is already present in my file and writing the output to a new file.
