No need to install anything. Python has batteries included.
Parse your XML with xml.etree.ElementTree
[https://docs.python.org/3/library/xml.etree.elementtree.html]
Read/write CSV with csv
[https://docs.python.org/3/library/csv.html]
Put stuff in sqlite3 database and query it using sqlite3
[https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite3.html]
