PyXml

[kdwyer]

Hello Everyone,

I've been looking into writing a utility to compare/analyse xml files, and
thought I'd have a look at PyXml, but the Sourceforge page says it's no
longer maintained.

Two questions:
What's the story with PyXml? Is it stable/complete or has effort moved
elsewhere?

Can anyone recommend a Python validating parser that validates vs Xml
Schema?

Many thanks,

Kev

Large parts of PyXML are now part of the standard library. When I
stepped back as a maintainer, nobody volunteered to take over.

Can anyone recommend a Python validating parser that validates vs Xml
Schema?

The libxml bindings for Python can do that.

Regards,
Martin

.... although the OP will likely prefer using lxml, where it's three lines of
Python (ok, plus an import), compared to quite a bit of code in the official
libxml2 bindings.
