MS Azure - automatically downloads the latest ip ranges used by MS Azure Datacenters

I see that MS provides a website ( http://www.microsoft.com/EN-US/DOWNLOAD/DETAILS.ASPX?ID=41653 ) where you can download the public ip ranges used by MS Azure.

The question is, is there a way to download the XML file from this site automatically using Python or other scripts? I am trying to schedule a task to capture a new IP range file and process it for my firewall policies.

Thank,
