If I understand correctly, your XML-like string content comes from user input
in the RichTextCtrl. Meaning: when you copy it into the XML tree, it should
get escaped (i.e. '<' replaced by '&lt;' etc.). Then every XML parser will
read this as you expect.

ElementTree will do the escaping for you when you set the ".text" property of
a leaf node.

Or did you mean to say that wxPython saves the broken XML for you?
