Being able to read can simplify a lot of things these days.

See above to find out how to install lxml on Debian. See the page mentioned
above to find out how to use lxml. I mean this page:

http://codespeak.net/lxml/

in particular this section:

http://codespeak.net/lxml/#documentation

or simply search that page for things like "XML Schema" or "API documentation".

Hope that gets you on the right track,
