To use SQLA, yes. The SQLite backend is a very cheap/easy way to start; local files, no server needed etc. In unit tests I use this DB URL: 'sqlite:///:memory:'. It makes an in-memory database. Of course, it vanishes as soon the the program exits, but for this purpose that's fine. BTW, if you're parsing XML data specificly, look at BeautifulSoup 4 and XPath (search syntax; IIRC the XML objects you get from BS4 can use it to locate things).
