I don't know about expert, but I've used xmltramp for quick hacks on a
bunch of projects and I love it. It's the simplest API I've ever used
for accessing XML. It builds trees in memory so it's not going to work
for 100 megabyte documents. And it's fast and loose enough that I
might be nervous about using it for very meticulous work, although I
have no specific evidence of it failing. Overall it's really nice.

Here's a sample:

rssFeed = urllib.urlopen("http://.../index.rss")
rss = xmltramp.parse(rssFeed.read())

print rss.channel.title
for i in rss.channel:
  if i._name == 'item':
    print i.title
