Take a look at
http://home.eol.ca/~parkw/park-january.html
on "Expat XML" section towards the end. Translating it to Python is
left for homework.
In essence,
indent=..
start () {
local "${@:2}"
echo "${indent|*XML_ELEMENT_DEPTH-1}$label"
}
xml -s start "`< file.xml`"
which prints
..ABC
....EFGA
......ABDG
....MON
..A1
....FGA
......BG
with modified input, ie. wrapping XML pieces into single root tree.
