Really simple way to deal with XML in Python?

Question

Musing over a recently asked question, I started to wonder if there is a really simple way to deal with XML documents in Python. A pythonic way, if you will.

I found the following python-simplexml module, which in the attempts of the author to get something close to SimpleXML from PHP is indeed a small wrapper around ElementTree. It's under 100 lines but seems to do what was requested:

>>> import SimpleXml
>>> x = SimpleXml.parse(urllib.urlopen('http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=94043'))
>>> print x.weather.current_conditions.temp_f['data']
