Forget about SAX. Use ElementTree instead

py> import xml.etree.cElementTree as ET
py> f = open("x.xml","r")
py> tree = ET.parse(f)
py> for item in tree.getiterator('item'):
...   print item.findtext('title')
...
Title1:Description
Title2:Description

ElementTree is infinitely more flexible and easier to use.
