expat is a XML parser by James Clark written in C.  SAX (Simple API
XML) is an event driven API for XML parsing.  You may need to do a
little background research on XML parsing and event driven parsers
before the python docs will start tom make sense to you.

You may be interested in http://www.4suite.org, which provides a set
of XML tools for use in python.

There is also at least one book devoted to XML in python:
