[FIXED] BeautifulSoup XML Only printing first line

Issue

I'm using BeautifulSoup4 (And lxml) to parse an XML file, for some reason when I print soup.prettify() it only prints the first line:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

f = open('xmlDoc.xml', "r")

soup = BeautifulSoup(f, 'xml')

print soup.prettify()

#>>> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Any idea why it's not grabbing everything?

UPDATE:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<!-- Data Junction generated file.
Macro type "1000" is reserved. -->
<djmacros>
  <macro name="Test" type="5000" value="TestValue">
    <description>test</description>
  </macro>
  <macro name="AnotherTest" type="0" value="TestValue2"/>
  <macro name="TestLocation" type="1000" value="C:\RandomLocation">
    <description> </description>
  </macro>
<djmacros>

Solution

The file position is at EOF:

>>> soup = BeautifulSoup("", 'xml')
>>> soup.prettify()
'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8">\n'

Or the content is not valid xml:

>>> soup = BeautifulSoup("no <root/> element", 'xml')
>>> soup.prettify()
'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8">\n'
