join xml element.text in python

Question

Is there some function in python for joining element.text with the same Element.tag names?

Example:

 p>     
        some text
        <i>(</i>
        <i>something</i>
        <i>something</i>
        <i>)</i>
        some text
        <i>proň, zač</i>
        the end of paragraph
    </p>

What I want:

 p>     
        some text
        <i>(something something)</i>
        some text
        <i>proň, zač</i>
        the end of paragraph
    </p>

No, you must code it yourself. The reason is that the library deals with xml, not just xhtml. In general, <tag>a</tag><tag>b</tag> does not have the same meaning as <tag>ab</tag>. In fact, even in html, consolidating adjacent <p> or <block> tags would change the meaning of the text.
