ElementTree's XMLParser() can be use efficiently for this. Something like
this should work:

    from xml.etree.ElementTree import XMLParser

    parser = XMLParser()
    parser.feed(b'<root>')
    parser.feed(real_input_data)
    parser.feed(b'</root>')
    root = parser.close()

    for subtree in root:
        ...
