I had the same problem recently. I used the standard xml.dom.minidom
module to parse the XML, and about a page of Python code to pretty-print
it. Unfortunately, I'm not able to release the code, but if you're
familiar with how DOM works, you should be able to replicate it in under
an hour. If you're not familiar with DOM, it'll take you longer, but
it'll also give you a chance to get familiar :-)
Have you tried DAGS for "xml pretty-print"?
