your love to python will increase again if you take a look at http://www.effbot.org/zone/element-index.htm and use ElementTree (or cElementTree if you are speed addict) to process your XML data.
If you need a bit more in the way of XML features such as XPath, XSLT and Relax NG, still don't want to miss out the friendly API of ElementTree, *and* want nice performance (libxml2), you may also want to consider lxml, which has all of those:
