Satine is a Python library that makes XML managment easy and complete. Satine 
  converts XML documents to Python lists with attributes (xlist). This technology 
  allows to:
- translate documents with namespaces, both in elements and attributes
- translate both documents without XMLSchema and documents with it. If the 
    XMLSchema is available, the document can be easily validated.
- random and partial access to XML documents
- work very fast. The data binding technology is coded in C.



NOTE:
- no support for XML entities yet
