将XML转换为dict python

Question

我有一个看起来像这样的XML字符串：

<Being>
    <Animal name="mammal">
        <Animal name="color">black</Animal>
        <Animal name="spots">yes</Animal>
        <Animal name="legs">4</Animal>
        <Animal name="age">10</Animal>
    </Animal>
    <Animal name="mammal">
        <Animal name="color">green</Animal>
        <Animal name="spots">no</Animal>
        <Animal name="legs">4</Animal>
        <Animal name="age">5</Animal>
    </Animal>
</being>

我想将其转换为Python字典，如下所示：

{Being: [{"mammal":{"color":"black", "spots":"yes", "legs": "4", "age":"10"}}, {"Reptile":{"color":"green", "spots":"no", "legs": "4", "age":"5"}}]}
