I simply use excel to go through the input XML file and populate/repopulate fields based on project specific values. Since we collect all project info in an excel file (and also because of my love for excel!), it was easier for us to populate required parts of the XML file based on the spreadsheet in excel. Our workflow involves text formatting which is definitely possible in Python. Would be interested to know what you learnt by trying out Python to do the same.
