Python xml ElementTree from a string source?

by

You can parse the text as a string, which creates an Element, and create an ElementTree using that Element.

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
tree = ET.ElementTree(ET.fromstring(xmlstring))

I just came across this issue and the documentation, while complete, is not very straightforward on the difference in usage between the parse() and fromstring() methods.
