discusses
Python dictionaries and SAX on O'Reilly.
"
My pet description of XML's fundamental data model is "labeled strings in nested packages". The labeling and nesting are what differentiate XML from good old comma or tab-delimited value and tabular ("square") data models such as spreadsheets and classic SQL databases. This same labeling and nesting makes for a natural accommodation of data from XML in Python dictionaries."
