A slightly odd question here, I'd think.
To 'pass stdout' you simply use the shell 'piping'
myprocess_whatever | python mypython
If you have created a tunnel with SSH then that will have established
a local port to connect to. You simply let your Python script connect
to that port. It does not have to know that that is SSH tunnel anyway.

Not sure about the 'standard python xml reader', but pretty much
everyone allows to parse from a stream, file or a string.
Reading the docs helps.
