I haven't yet seen anything convincing for Python :-( I mean something
like Castor for Java, which is a complete solution for XML <-> DB.

The only link I have is http://members.home.net/slhath/downloads.html
but I haven't tried that yet. It seems to create XML from SQL queries
only.

You could check out if you can produce what you want with 4Suite (might
be possible out of the box, too). It contains libraries for xml, xslt,
xpointer, xlink, rdf and an object-realational mapper.
