Python has a "batteries included" standard library. Every Python
installation has full access to HTML and XML parsers in the standard
library; there is no "dependency" to be introduced. It might be
worthwhile to use those modules that are in the standard library to
extract the XML data and present a more Pythonic API than just an XML
dump though.
