Copy a word and insert a line: N times

[Manel2]

I tried to meet my requirement using a topic in JS on this forum

I have a piece of XML code ( from SVG )

<symbol
      
    junk
       class="bi bi-currency-pound"
   junk

>
     
 <path
a lot of maths
         id="path1872-3" />

    </symbol>

I am trying to copy the value of ‘class’ and insert <title id=currency-pound>currency-pound</title> above the class as in

<symbol
      
    junk
      <title id=currency-pound>currency-pound</title>

       class="bi bi-currency-pound"
   junk

>
     
 <path
a lot of maths
         id="path1872-3" />

    </symbol>

While I can do this manually, each one of this is an icon and there are 1000+ entries like this. It would be nice to know how to automate this process using Python. I have Python 3.8.5 and Pycharm installed and have some basic understanding of Python.

But to begin with, I am not sure how to read the symbol file ( which is SVG, but I can save it as XML or text file ) and then let Python script make the changes.

Any help in this will be great. Thanks.
