This is totally jumping the gun. "roughly comparably to built-in Python data
structures."

Does that tell you something?

... just use the Python data structures!

Why are we getting complicated here? The parser and SAX should just return
some simple Python data structs. If an app wants an AttributeList, then let
it build one.

Now... if you're suggesting building this little utility as a separate and
disjoint project, then okay. But that is exactly that: separate. It doesn't
apply to the discussion of what type is used in the event handler callback.
