Python Script To Generate And XML Using If Condition Error

I am making a python script to create XML document and add alphanumeric from the file to XML. Before I add the data from the file to the XML document, I add the if condition if the data matches the criteria(if length is equal to 32, 40 or 64). Otherwise, I will not add that data to the XML. I also implemented a input to add data to XML. I tried to write XML and read it but there are errors related to lxml synatx error.

I tried doing research on how to write XML. I just do not see any difference between my code and the tutorial.

#!/usr/bin/python

from lxml import etree as ET
from StringIO import StringIO

root = ET.Element("root")
file = open("alphanumeric.txt", "r")
invalidalhanumeric= open("invalidalhanumeric.txt", "w+")
print ("Enter the comment of the XML file: ")
comment = raw_input()

for aline in file:
        values = aline.strip()
        length = len(values)
        if length != 32 or length != 40 or length != 64:
                invalidalhanumeric.write(str(values)+ "\n")
        else:
                child = ET.SubElement(root,"child")
                fn = ET.SubElement(child, "alphanumeric")
                fn.text = values
                if length == 32:
                        length32 = ET.SubElement(child, "length32 ")
                        length32 .text = values
                elif length == 40:
                        length40 = ET.SubElement(child, "length40 ")
                        length40 .text = values
                elif length == 64:
                        length64 = ET.SubElement(child, "length64 ")
                        length64 .text = values
                rl = ET.SubElement(child, "ComplexLevel")
                rl.text = "1"
                cm = ET.SubElement(child, "Comment")
                cm.text = comment
                tree = ET.ElementTree(root)
                tree.write("data.xml")
x = ET.parse(StringIO("data.xml"))
print ET.tostring(x, pretty_print=True)

The result should show the XML output except this ac9fc01c1284bbe9ee4ddf424216a82b5d64a42 which does not meet the criteria. There is error messages which shows

Enter the comment of the XML file:

See here - I did a little rewrite but I hope I keep the logic

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

with open("alphanumeric.txt", "r") as f:
    root = ET.Element("root")
    invalid_lines = []
    lines = [l.strip() for l in f.readlines()]
    for line in lines:
        line_length = len(line)
        if line_length in [32, 40, 64]:
            child = ET.SubElement(root, "child")
            fn = ET.SubElement(child, "alphanumeric")
            fn.text = line
            e = ET.SubElement(child, 'length{}'.format(line_length))
            e.text = line
            rl = ET.SubElement(child, "ComplexLevel")
            rl.text = "1"
            cm = ET.SubElement(child, "Comment")
            cm.text = 'a comment goes gere'
        else:
            invalid_lines.append(line)
# TODO write invalid lines to file
tree = ET.ElementTree(root)
tree.write("data.xml")

output ('data.xml')
