Our PyXML module will shortly be re-released for Python1.6 with a GPL license, and a new name so as not to conflict with the existing PyXML module. We will happily discuss with you less-restrictive licensing terms for [whatever PyXML becomes], and we would also be happy if someone ported XSV to run on top of some other validating Python XML interface -- the hooks are there (in layer.py). ht -- Henry S.
