JSON is the answer for database storage on that kind of issue. This probably will work:
https://github.com/hay/xml2json
python setup.py install
And ready to go:
import xml2json
import json
s = '''<?xml version="1.0"?>

### Storage data:
print xml2json.xml2json(s)
### Parsing to use:
json_data = json.loads(xml2json.xml2json(s))
