Note that web sites usually are HTML, not XML. Are you sure you want to 
read XML as well? Also, DOM/SAX are certainly not the easiest way to 
extract information from XML, use the xml.etree.ElementTree package instead.

To parse HTML from web pages, you can use several different tools in 
Python, see
