I've been searching high and low for a way to simply convert a small XML configuration file to Python data structures. I came across gnosis XML tools, but need a built-in option for doing something similar.
I too needed such thing, and made this simple parser: http://ivoras.sharanet.org/projects/xmldict.py.gz
It's really quick and dirty. It doesn't even use standard parsers such as dom or sax, but improvises its own. It's also very likely to fail in mysterious ways when it encounters invalid XML, but for quick and dirty jobs, it's very nice and easy. See the bottom of the file for some quick examples.
