Command-line Usage — xmldiff documentation - Read the Docs
The diff formatter is default and will output a list of edit actions. The xml formatter will output XML with differences marked up by tags using the diff namespace. The old formatter is a formatter that gives a list of edit actions in a format similar to xmldiff 0.6 or 1.0.

Use the xmldiff to perform this exact task.
main.py
from xmldiff import main
diff = main.diff_files("file1.xml", "file2.xml")
print(diff)
output
[DeleteNode(node='/ngs_sample/results/gastro_prelim_st/type[2]')]

You can switch to the XMLFormatter and manually filter out the results:
...
# Change formatter:
formatter = formatting.XMLFormatter(normalize=formatting.WS_BOTH)
...
# after `out` has been retrieved:
import re
for i in out.splitlines():
if re.search(r'\bdiff:\w+', i):
print(i)
# Result:
# <type st="9999" diff:delete=""/>

One approach would be to first turn both XML files into Canonical XML, and compare the results using diff. For example, xmllint can be used to canonicalize XML.
$ xmllint --c14n one.xml > 1.xml
$ xmllint --c14n two.xml > 2.xml
$ diff 1.xml 2.xml
Or as a one-liner.
$ diff <(xmllint --c14n one.xml) <(xmllint --c14n two.xml)

Jukka's answer did not work for me, but it did point to Canonical XML. Neither --c14n nor --c14n11 sorted the attributes, but i did find the --exc-c14n switch did sort the attributes. --exc-c14n is not listed in the man page, but described on the command line as "W3C exclusive canonical format".
$ xmllint --exc-c14n one.xml > 1.xml
$ xmllint --exc-c14n two.xml > 2.xml
$ diff 1.xml 2.xml
$ xmllint | grep c14
--c14n : save in W3C canonical format v1.0 (with comments)
--c14n11 : save in W3C canonical format v1.1 (with comments)
--exc-c14n : save in W3C exclusive canonical format (with comments)
$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/xmllint
libxml2-2.7.6-14.el6.x86_64
libxml2-2.7.6-14.el6.i686
$ cat /etc/system-release
CentOS release 6.5 (Final)
Warning --exc-c14n strips out the xml header whereas the --c14n prepends the xml header if not there.
