It should be possible [1]; have a look at the following snippet:
>>> from webtest import TestRequest
>>> from webtest import TestResponse
>>> res = TestResponse(content_type='text/html', body=b'''
... <html><body><div id="content">hey!</div></body>''')
>>> res.request = TestRequest.blank('/')
>>> res.html
<html><body><div id="content">hey!</div></body></html>
>>> res.html.__class__
<class 'BeautifulSoup.BeautifulSoup'>
>>> res.lxml
<Element html at ...>
>>> res.lxml.xpath('//body/div')[0].text
'hey!'
Does this solve your issue?
Cheers,
