Simplexml module provides xmpppy library with all needed tools to handle XML nodes and XML streams. I'm personally using it in many other separate projects. It is designed to be as standalone as possible.

XML2Node(xml)

source code

Converts supplied textual string into XML node. Handy f.e. for reading configuration file. Raises xml.parser.expat.parsererror if provided string is not well-formed XML.

BadXML2Node(xml)

source code

Converts supplied textual string into XML node. Survives if xml data is cutted half way round. I.e. "<html>some text <br>some more text". Will raise xml.parser.expat.parsererror on misplaced tags though. F.e. "<b>some text <br>some more text</b>" will not work.
