XML documents represent a hierarchical tree of data. Relational
databases are not good at representing hierarchical documents.

So I don't know what you mean by “consistently import xml files into my
database”. What are you expecting the result to be?

You won't have sensible relational records as a result. At best, you'll
have XML blobs in single SQL fields.

I've asked you about using Django with SQLAlchemy; it's not clear why
you don't think that is suitable.

So I have the same question: What makes you think a database API is
going to solve the problem, and what makes you think SQLAlchemy in
particlar is the right solution?

More generally: You appear to have already decided what the solution is,
without making clear to us what the problem is. Advice is going to be
mis-matched until you tell us more about what problem you're trying to
solve.
