import simplexml
xml = simplexml.dumps(dic)
print(xml)

<xml>
    <noise>
        <data>5</data>

load xml to dict:

import simplexml
dic = simplexml.loads(xml)
print(dic)

result:

{u'date': u'2009-11-25',
u'errorcode': u'7',
u'errormsg': u'Noise Too High',
u'item': u'SNR',
u'noise': {u'data': [u'5', u'6', u'7']},
u'signal': {u'data': [u'1', u'2', u'3']},
u'sn': u'2103839'}
