import urllib

URL = "http://host.domain.tld/resource"
XML = "<xml />"

parameter = urllib.urlencode({'XML': XML})

a) using HTTP POST

response = urllib.urlopen(URL, parameter)
print response.read()

b) using HTTP GET

response = urllib.urlopen(URL + "?%s" % parameter)
print response.read()

That would be the simplest solution.

You can achieve that through a standard http post request.
