Hi,

Try to break your problem into several smaller ones.

1. Parse the request (not http, just a normal file)
   I suggest sax: import xml.sax

2. Learn how to handle a HTTP-Request 
   (module cgi and cgitb)

3. Try to make queries with mysql

4. Create valid XML
   You can use fd.write() or a library.

Good luck,
 Thomas
