[Python] Handling XML default namespace in Python using Pydantic

I am trying to convert some JSON data into XML in Python using the Pydantic-XML library (https://pydantic-xml.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html). However, I am having trouble getting the default namespaces according to my business requirements.

This is my code:

class Socials(
BaseXmlModel,
tag='socials',
nsmap={'': 'http://www.company.com/soc'},
):
urls: List[str] = element(tag='social')


class Contacts(
BaseXmlModel,
tag='contacts',
nsmap={'': 'http://www.company.com/cnt'},
):
socials: Socials = element()


class Company(
BaseXmlModel,
tag='company',
nsmap={'': 'http://www.company.com/co'},
):
contacts: Contacts = element()


My desired output: (requirement from business, ns starts from 1 not 0)

<ns1:company xmlns:ns1="http://www.company.com/co"
xmlns:ns2="http://www.company.com/cnt"
xmlns:ns3="http://www.company.com/soc">
<ns2:contacts>
<ns3:socials>
<ns3:social>https://www.linkedin.com/company/spacex</ns2:social>
<ns3:social>https://twitter.com/spacex</ns2:social>
<ns3:social>https://www.youtube.com/spacex</ns2:social>
</ns3:socials>
</ns2:contacts>
</ns1:company>


What I get from library:

<company xmlns="http://www.company.com/co">
<contacts xmlns="http://www.company.com/cnt" >
<socials xmlns="http://www.company.com/soc">
<social>https://www.linkedin.com/company/spacex</social>
<social>https://twitter.com/spacex</social>
<social>https://www.youtube.com/spacex</social>
</socials>
</contacts>
</company>


Can anyone help let me know how to achieve this with the pydantic-xml library or any other python library?
