def read_xml(filename, record_root):
	doc = xml.dom.minidom.parse(filename)
	recordRootNode = doc.getElementsByTagName(record_root)[0]

	fields = read_xml_record(recordRootNode).keys()
	records = [fields]
	for node in recordRootNode.childNodes:
		record_dict = read_xml_record(node)
		record_list = []
		for field in fields:
			if record_dict.has_key(field):
				record_list.append(record_dict[field])
			else:
				record_list.append(None)
		records.append(record_list)
		return records

def read_xml_record(record_node):
	record = {}
	choices =[e for e in record_node.childNodes if e.nodeType==e.ELEMENT_NODE]
	#print choices
		if ((not (node.nodeType == Node.TEXT_NODE)) and (not (node.nodeType == Node.CDATA_SECTION_NODE))):
	for node in choices:			  
		record[node.data] = node.childNodes[0].data
