My second thought is that maybe you want to bypass most of the work by having a mostly static site (which you can build with any number of Content Management Systems, even something like WordPress). Then, have a process which takes the XML, parses it (you would use Python's lxml library), and produces a HTML file containing the formatted scores. You could then include you HTML in the static site by way of an iframe, or something like that. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
