The PyXML package includes an xml.marshal subpackage with a bunch of
different marshallers: a generic one, WDDX, and XML-RPC. For example:

>>> from xml.marshal import generic
>>> print generic.dumps( [1.0, pow(2, 75L), 'this is a string'] )
<?xml version="1.0"?><marshal><list id="i2"><float>1.0</float>
<long>37778931862957161709568</long><string>this is a string</string>
</list></marshal>
