I must be pretty stupid then, I need an example or tell me which of the returns 

I see these in parsexml0


177:                return (NameString, AttDict, ContentList, ExtraStuff)
214:            return (None, endcomment+1) # shortcut exit
373:    return (t, cursor)

so I see one 4 and two 2 element returns. Now although that looks pretty obviously
wrong I also see that we have a recursive call to parsexml0 which expects a two element
return so I believe the problem is slightly more complex than you seem to imply.

Of course if you know the answer couldn't you just say what it is?
