I am trying to use Boto to read an Amazon MWS Response to get matching products for ID. I have my connection working fine, and am able to get results, but having issues trying to parse the results. It looks like Boto has built in results parsers such as Response and ResponseFactory. I just can't figure out how to transfer the information to these method so I can implement some of the pre built code.
This code:
mws = MWSConnection(accessKeyId,secretKey,Merchant=merchantId)
response = mws.list_matching_products(MarketplaceId=marketplaceId,Query="Beanie Babies")
prints out this string:

I'm sure I can figure out how to parse the XML using an XML parser, but it seems like Response and ResponseFactory would make life much easier for me. I can't find any real world examples on line to copy and play with, and as I have no programming background I don't fully understand all the documentation properly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
