We need more details to be able to help.
What should be in the resulting XML file or files? Do you want to create
one XML file for each country in your source file?
I agree with you that trying to parse XML manually, line-by-line, is a
bad idea. Python comes with xml.etree.ElementTree, a library useful for
parsing and generating xml documents. Take a look at the documentation
and examples in the Python docs to get started.
