parse() is meant for parsing files. Use fromstring() to parse from a string.

This works for me:

   >>> import xml.etree.cElementTree as ET
   >>> tree = ET.parse('gmap.xml')
   >>> print [ (el.findtext('lat'), el.findtext('lng'))
   ...         for el in tree.getiterator('location') ]
   [('42.3118520', '-71.2632680')]
