As a quick Unicode tutorial, I'd recommend

http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/unicode/python.html
http://www.egenix.com/files/python/Unicode-EPC2002-Talk.pdf

For text processing, you should read the "Strings" section of the
library reference:

http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/strings.html

Notice there is also a separate section on SGML/XML

http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/markup.html

PyXML has its own documentation page, on

http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/topics/docs.html

As for book recommendations: What language? I would recommend

Fischbeck, v. Löwis: Python 2

:-) It covers all of these topics.
