In [20]: import xml.dom.minidom

In [21]: s = '''<para role="success">1</para>'''

In [22]: x = xml.dom.minidom.parseString(s)

In [23]: print x.firstChild.firstChild.data

I doubt this really answers what you're really wanting to ask.  And this 
is a really really brittle way of trying to parse XML.  But it answers 
exactly what you're asking.  Hope it gives you the start you need.  Post 
a follow-up when you have more questions.
