One thing that might help you to visualize the problem
is to create a tangible model of a tree.  Take an XML
example maybe even smaller than the one that you
posted.  Lay out some index cards on a desk in front
of you in a tree-like pattern.  On each card write
down which part of the XML tree that corresponds to,
then the GUI element that needs to be updated.  I
think that will give you some insight on the data
structure, and then you might still struggle a bit to
express it in Python, but I see this as a way of
dividing up the problem.

Good luck!
