It could e.g. look like this in Python:

stoogeGuys = []
for xmlGuys in xmlSource.Descendants["Stooge"]:
    arrayGuys = familyFacts[xmlGuys.stoogeName]
    dbGuys = stoogeContext.stoogeTables[xmlGuys.stoogeName]
    stoogeGuys += \
       [{'firstName':    dbGuys.stoogeName,
         'familyName':   arrayGuys.familyName,
         'birthDate':    xmlGuys.birthDate,
         'deathDate':    dbGuys.deathDate,
         'hairCutStyle': dbGuys.stoogeHaircut}]
