Is it a fixed structure you have, or are you free to use whatever you like?

My guess is that this is supposed to mean: "I want to create Python objects
and then write their structure out as XML". Is that the right translation?

There are many ways to do so, one is to follow these steps:

http://codespeak.net/lxml/objectify.html#tree-generation-with-the-e-factory
http://codespeak.net/lxml/objectify.html#element-access-through-object-attributes
http://codespeak.net/lxml/objectify.html#python-data-types
then maybe this:
http://codespeak.net/lxml/objectify.html#defining-additional-data-classes
and finally this:

But as I do not know enough about the problem you are trying to solve, except:

I cannot tell if the above approach will solve your problem or not.
