Just print it. XML is actually relatively easy to produce. Parsing it is
more complicated.

Doing something like:
to_file.write('<revision\n')
to_file.write('  committer="%s"\n' % rev.committer.encode('utf-8'))
...

Actually, you need slightly better than .encode('utf-8') because you
also have to worry about escaping some characters, but that is a simple:

.replace('&', '&amp;').replace('<', '&lt;')...
Or you could keep a table, and go once over the string, replacing what
was appropriate. There is also python's translate functionality, but I
don't know if it lets you replace a single character with more than 1
character.
