How to remove ns0 tag while dumping

I have tried parsing the file using lxml iterparse since the actual file would be huge. I have the following code:

import xml.etree.cElementTree as etree
filename = r'D:\test\Books.xml'
context = iter(etree.iterparse(filename, events=('start', 'end')))
_, root = next(context)
for event, elem in context:
    if event == 'start' and elem.tag == '{http://www.book.org/Book-19200/biblography}Book':
        print(etree.dump(elem))
        root.clear()

And my XML looks like this:

<Books>
    <Book xmlns="http://www.book.org/Book-19200/biblography"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.book.org/Book-19200/biblography ../../book.xsd 
    http://www.w3.org/2000/12/xmldsig# ../../xmldsig-core-schema.xsd">
        <Detail ID="67">

            <ISBN>073562710X</ISBN>
        </Detail>

</Books>

Running the above generates something like this:

How do I ensure I print the xml fragment without the ns0 prefix? I am using Python 3.

How do I uninstall ns0?

To remove ns0:Go to message type design of source message and remove the namespace under XML Namespace.

What is ns0 namespace?

The namespace prefic ns0 is only a placeholder for the namespace urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.001.001.02. This namespace can also be represented by another prefix or even by the empty prefix. However, it is not possible to model the target payload via a Message type in the Integration Repository.

Add

etree.register_namespace("", "http://www.book.org/Book-19200/biblography")

to your program. This function registers a namespace prefix to be used for serialization (in this case it means no prefix).

Reference: http://docs.python.org/3/library/xml.etree.elementtree.html#xml.etree.ElementTree.register_namespace
