xml-object mapping

[Tamas Hegedus]

Hi!

I am looking for an xml-object mapping tool ('XML Data Binding-design 
time product') where I can define the mapping rules in 'binding files' 
and the parser is generated automatically.

Similar to the solution of Dave Kuhlman 
(http://www.rexx.com/~dkuhlman/generateDS.html) where the mapping is 
defined in an xml file (if I am understand well).

But I already have the target object. The xml-tags should not be used as 
a property/member name, but should be mapped to an existing object.

(There are existing tools, but written in Java (I would prefer Python; I 
am biologist not using Java for 5 years), like JiBX 
(http://jibx.sourceforge.net), Castor (http://www.castor.org; "XML-based 
mapping file to specify bindings for existing object models"))

Thanks for your help in advance,
Tamas
