Lupa is a partial re-write of lunatic python.
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/lunatic-python
with docs here:
http://labix.org/lunatic-python

and maybe that can do what you want.

But I don't know why you need to involve python at all.  Lua has
perfectly good xml parsers, indeed like python -- perhaps too many
of them.  Can't you just use lua?
