not if it's an XML parser.

any parser *can* do that, but I doubt many parsers will do it unless
you ask it to (by extracting the string and parsing it again). here's the
elementtree version:
from elementtree.ElementTree import parse, XML
wrapper = parse(urllib.urlopen(url))
dataset = XML(wrapper.findtext("{http://www......}string";))
