I don't have a solution yet, still working. But, try our this code below, if you are trying to write to a note_file.. It might help.

                response = m.managers[id].dispatch(rpc['rpc_template'])                    

                print("\n\n****************   Printing Response   ********************** ")
                print(response)
                print("\n**************** Response Printed ********************* ")

                directory = "results/"+vendor+"/"+tec+"/"+m.managers[id].host+"/"+rpc["operation"]
                file = open(directory + '/' + testcase[0] + '_rpc-reply.xml', 'w+')
                file = open(directory + '/' + testcase[0] + '_rpc-response.xml', 'w+')

                print("\n\n****************  Writing Response in Results file  ********************** ")
                file.write(etree.tostring(response,pretty_print=True))
                file.close()
                print("\n**************** Response Written to the file ********************* ")
