This code works -- it's a slightly modified version of
example02 in examples/python/examples.py:

    ...
    mgr = XmlManager()
     uc = mgr.createUpdateContext()
     container = mgr.createContainer("test.dbxml")
     container.putDocument(book_name,  book_content, uc)
     qc = mgr.createQueryContext()
     results = mgr.query("collection('test.dbxml')/book", qc)
     mod = mgr.createModify()
     exp = mgr.prepare("./title", qc)
     mod.addInsertAfterStep(exp, XmlModify.Element, "new", "text")
     results.reset()
     for value in results:
         mod.execute(value, qc, uc)
         document = value.asDocument()
         print document.getName(), "=", value.asString()
         container.updateDocument(document, uc)

     doc1 = container.getDocument(book_name)
     print "after: ", document.getContent()
