Here's a different way of solving the problem without having
to change xmlrpclib (the change would cause you harm with other
applications !).

Add the following lines to the Getxmldata.py:

class BasicAuthTransport(xmlrpclib.Transport): #{{{
     ...

     def getparser(self):
         # get parser and unmarshaller
         target = MyUnmarshaller()
         return xmlrpclib.SlowParser(target), target

class MyUnmarshaller(xmlrpclib.Unmarshaller):

     def xml(self, encoding, standalone):
         self._encoding = 'latin-1'
