You can take a look at the docs for Beautiful Soup, they might help
you. If it's just as simple as you're describing and you could always
do something like...
test = """<a>
<b>
<c>
1
</c>
</b>
<b>
<c>
2
</c>
</b>
</a>"""
test = test.replace('<c>','|||').replace('</c>','|||')
[i for (j,i) in enumerate(tmp2.split('|')) if j%2]
which would yield
['\n 1\n ', '\n 2\n ']
which you could then parse as required.
