Need to parse python dictionaries into xml

I am parsing some hardware format which finally I need to convert in xml.
The intermediate step is dicts.
So, the structure looks like this:
{chip_name:'myChip',chip_clock:'3.07',chip_peripherals:{peripheral1:{mode:'mode1',register:{}},peripheral2:{....},peripheral3:{...}}}

I think this example gives good insight into kind of dict structure I am
having. Now I want to have every dict tag as xml tag with hierarchy
maintained.

Thanks
