Cant parse XML tree without bounds element from Pyosmium

Question

I downloaded some data from OpenStreetMap, and have been sorting the data so i only have the nodes and ways that i need for my project (highways and the corresponding nodes in the references). To sort the XML file and create a new one, i use the library Pyosmium. Everything works except i cant parse the XML file with xml.etree.ElementTree. When i sort my data into a new file im not moving the bounds that contain the min and max longitude and latitude. If i manually copy in the bounds it parses.

I read through the Pyosium doc’s and only found osmium.io.Reader and osmium.io.Header as well as some Geometry Attributes that describe the box (containing what i need), but i found no help in regards to getting it from my file and using my writer to write it to the new one.

So far this is what i have in my main method that just handles the nodes and ways, using SimpleHandlers

    wayHandler = XMLhandlers.StreetHandler()
    nodeHandler = XMLhandlers.NodeHandler()
    wayHandler.apply_file('data/map_2.osm')
    nodeHandler.apply_file('data/map_2.osm')

    if os.path.exists('data/map_2_TEST.osm'):
        os.remove('data/map_2_TEST.osm')


    writer = XMLhandlers.wayWriter('data/map_2_TEST.osm')
    writer.apply_file('data/map_2.osm')

    tree = ET.parse('data/map_2_TEST.osm')

pruces the following error:

xml.etree.ElementTree.ParseError: no element found: line 1, column 0

Pastebin of original XML file: https://pastebin.com/i8uyCneC
Pastebin of sorted XML file that wont parse: https://pastebin.com/WZUcsZg4

EDIT:
The error is not in the parsing itself. If i comment out the part that generates the new XML and only try to parse the new XML file (that was generated beforehand) it works for some reason.

EDIT 2:
The error was i forgot to call close() on my SimpleWriter to flush remaining buffers and close the writer.

The issue happens since the code never stops the writer when done. By calling writer.close() it flushes the remaining buffers and closes the writer.

The following code has the line added, and the tree parses as expected.

    wayHandler = XMLhandlers.StreetHandler()
    nodeHandler = XMLhandlers.NodeHandler()
    wayHandler.apply_file('data/map_2.osm')
    nodeHandler.apply_file('data/map_2.osm')

    if os.path.exists('data/map_2_TEST.osm'):
        os.remove('data/map_2_TEST.osm')

    writer = XMLhandlers.wayWriter('data/map_2_TEST.osm')
    writer.apply_file('data/map_2.osm')
    writer.close()
    
    tree = ET.parse('data/map_2_TEST.osm')
