I recommend you Beautifulsoup, it is so cool and convinient to use: 

dir = '/'.join([settings.BASE_DIR, 'media', 'xml/example.xml'])
abs_path = os.path.realpath(dir)
soup = BeautifulSoup(open(abs_path)) #<-- here you can now read/search thru xml file

for row in soup.find_all('row'):
    print row.find('name').text

if your xml looks like: 

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='us-ascii'?>
<root>
   <row>
     <name>Wake up to BeautifulSoup!</name>
   </row>
</root>

you will get: 

Wake up to BeautifulSoup!
