[XML-SIG] Switching back and forward between SAX and DOM

Just a Python newbie question to try to find my way into XML processing 
with Python :-)

In Java, I like to use both SAX and DOM (I prefer using SAX to bind 
documents to and from predefined data models and DOM when manipulating 
documents) and I need|want to do the same with Python (I am currently 
using Python 2.2 with 4suite 0.12 latest CVS).

How can you get a DOM tree out of SAX events (if for instance you've 
developed a ContentHandler, can you retrieve a part of the document as a 
DOM tree by forwarding the events to a DOM parser?) and vice versa, how 
can I serialize a DOM tree as SAX events which can be processed by a 
ContentHandler?

Thanks

Eric
