AFAIK xml in CPython is a few Python modules mainly for API specs, but

Since the xml parsing in CPython is C code, I don't know of any pure
python implementations.  You might want to check out the Jakarta
project, a part of the Apache group.  They have a bunch of Java stuff
including an XML parser (don't know if it is SAX2 or not) and regex
stuff.  The regex stuff is used by Jython, and the XML stuff is used
by the (Java) company I am working for right now (but I haven't worked
on that part of the project).
