Here are links to two different solutions: generateDS.py and
xml_objectify.  One is shameless self-promotion; you will have to
figure out which.

    http://gnosis.cx/publish/programming/xml_matters_2.txt

And, here is a document that compares the above two approaches:

And, if you are considering the use of XSLT, you may also be
interested in the following document, which describes the use of
generateDS.py as an alternative to XSLT:
