XML validation in stdlib?

[Filip Gruszczyński]

Hi!

I took a look at the standard library and tried to find some
validation against schema tools, but found none. I googled, but found
only links to external libraries, that can do some validation. Does it
mean, that there is no validation in stdlib or have I just missed
something?

No, there is no XML validation tool available in the standard library. If you
require depending on the stdlib only, you can write your code with ElementTree
and replace it with lxml when you want to use validation (DTD/XML
Schema/RelaxNG/Schematron).
