... by looking at the Python package index? If your XML files are small, you may get away with the xmldiff package. Also, a very simple way to do that is to pretty print your XML files and then run a normal line diff on them. Depends on what you want to achieve with your 'script'. If you need more than that and want to implement it in Python, you may consider using lxml (or cElementTree if you can afford to ignore comments) to parse the two files and then run through the two trees to look for differences. But note that this is not trivial. There is some scientific literature on good algorithms to compare XML tree structures. Note that lxml.html comes with an HTML diff algorithm, which you can look at for inspiration.
