My sample is in Jython, but I hope you easily understand what to do.

from javax.xml.parsers import DocumentBuilderFactory

dFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance()
dFactory.setNamespaceAware(1)
dBuilder = dFactory.newDocumentBuilder()

# New empty DOM
emptyXML = dBuilder.newDocument()

# parse URL or file
xml = dBuilder.parse(file_Or_Url_Name)

# parse stream
xml = dBuilder.parse(stream)

# parse string
sStream = ByteArrayInputStream(str.encode('UTF-8'))
xml = dBuilder.parse(sStream)

# node to text
from org.apache.xalan.serialize import SerializerToXML
serializer = SerializerToXML()
s = ByteArrayOutputStream()
serializer.setOutputStream( s )
serializer.serialize( xmlNode )
text = s.toString('UTF-8')

# selectNodes
from org.apache.xpath import XPathAPI
nodeList = XPathAPI.selectNodeList(contextNode, xpath)

# selectSingleNode
node = XPathAPI.selectSingleNode(contextNode, xpath)

# transformNodeToObject (srcNode - source , xslNode - xsl style)
from org.apache.xalan.processor import TransformerFactoryImpl
from javax.xml.transform.dom import DOMSource
from javax.xml.transform.dom import DOMResult
transformerFactory = TransformerFactoryImpl()
sourceXSL = DOMSource(xslNode)
transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer(sourceXSL)
source = DOMSource(srcNode)
trgNode = dBuilder.newDocument()
result = DOMResult(trgNode)
transformer.transform(source, result)
# trgNode is transformation result
