Yes, you can run standalone blast from Biopython, and parse its XML 
output. See "Chapter 3 BLAST" of the tutorial:

http://biopython.org/DIST/docs/tutorial/Tutorial.html

Note that while parsing the plain text worked well with older versions 
of BLAST. We don't recommend using this anymore - use the XML output.
