This patch is for Python 2. New features are accepted only for Python 3.3+. I ported the patch, but since I have no Mac, I can't check.

To date code was specified incorrectly.

The length of integers was calculated incorrectly. To convert integers, you can use int.from_bytes.

Objects identity was not preserved.

I'm not sure that the recognition of XML done enough. Should consider UTF-16 and UTF-32 with the BOM and without.

Need tests.

Also I'm a bit cleaned up and modernizing the code. I believe that it should be rewritten in a more object-oriented style. It is also worth to implement writer.
