This may be best parsed using BeautifulStoneSoup as it is quite tolerant
of xml errors and quite easy to use:
There is a little extract:
>>> from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulStoneSoup
>>> soup = BeautifulStoneSoup(open('./quarks.xml','r').read())
>>> items=soup.findAll('item')
>>> len(items)
44
>>> items[0]
<item>

<description>Im Januar 2007 raste der Orkan Kyrill über Europa hinweg
und hinterließ eine Spur der Verwüstung. Im Oktober richtet ein Tornado
auf der Ferieninsel Mallorca großen Schaden an. Sind das die Vorboten
einer stürmischen Zukunft? Quarks & Co zeigt, was Klimaforscher
erwarten.; © WDR VideoPodcast</description>

u'http://medien.wdr.de/m/1194984000/quarks/wdr_fernsehen_quarks_und_co_20071113.mp4'
Code is:
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulStoneSoup
soup = BeautifulStoneSoup(open('./quarks.xml','r').read())
items = soup.findAll('item')
item = items[0]
item.findChild('enclosure')
enc = item.findChild('enclosure')
enc.attrs
enc['url']
