As you can see, you have lost type information: the integer "3"
has been converted into the string "'3'".
When types are important for your client sides, then this is likely
not good enough.

from lxml import objectify
root = objectify.fromstring("<root><a>test</a><b>5</b></root>")
root.a
'test'
root.a.pyval
'test'
root.b
5
root.b.text
'5'
root.b.pyval
5
look at doing it with a schema if you want to avoid guesswork.
