I tried to post Digester to Ruby a while ago. However I discovered that Digester best suits a language where a class can be introspected to find its members and their types. This just isn't possible in Ruby, and I presume it isn't possible in Python either. Without this Digester cannot automatically deduce the type conversion to apply for the SetPropertyRule etc. You can find the current Ruby port here, but I'm not claiming it is worth using, not that it's truly rubyish (it was my first attempt at a Ruby app): http://rubyforge.org/projects/xmldigester/ I don't know of any other ports of Digester to any other lanugage.
