I use a really forgiving XML library called 'microdom' that resides in
the twisted library. I won't give an example of that - but I do
recommend it if you have a situation where you need to parse crappy
xml.

A quick google comes up with:

http://www.acooke.org/andrew/writing/python-xml.html
which shows how to use xml.dom.ext.reader.Sax.FromXmlFile and then
doing some stuff with createElement, appendChild and
getElementsByTagName.
