Why are you using a low-level interface like the expat parser when you can use xml.etree.[c]ElementTree? It creates a tree of elements (nodes) for you. Elements have tag, text, and tail attributes and contain a dict that maps attribute names to values, and a list of child elements.
Have a look at the Python documentation for xml.etree.ElementTree, and this additional information.
