How to construct element with non-default XML namespace?

I want to build an Element (genshi.builder) which renders exactly to this string
u'<ns1:foo xmlns:ns1="http://example.com"/>'

but the closest I can get to is:
Element('http://example.com}ns1:foo')
which results in
u'<ns1:foo xmlns="http://example.com"/>'

Is it possible to specify different namespaces in Genshi's Element?

Element("ns1:foo", **{"xmlns:ns1": "http://example.com"})

Seems to do what you want. It's a bit clumsy but maybe that's okay.

Thanks, that did the trick indeed. Stupid me.
