Take a look at lxml. It's a pythonic binding for libxml2 and libxslt. libxml2 <http://xmlsoft.org/> implements XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes and partially XML Schema Part 1: Structures. I don't know how complete the structures implementation is and if it can already do what you want. So you might ask the libxml2 guys how to do what you want with libxml2 and then use lxml to do it in Python. Bye, Dennis -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
