Here are some key features of "pyXSD":

· Transforms allow users to easily adapt pyXSD to vast number of applications
· Provides a framework and libraries to write transform so the user can more easily write these transform functions
· Allows the user to specify the desired transform classes with arguments and the order in a file so the user can create a sort of custom tool
· Allows for transforms that can export to other formats, giving pyXSD powerful flexibility
· The pythonic data tree format uses a very simple structure that allows for an easily understood API, so that users can easily manipulate this tree in transforms and use the writer in other programs
· Can be used as a standalone program at the command line or as a library in other programs
· Uses the cElementTree library for fast reading of the xml and xsd files

Requirements:

· Python 2.3 or later
· ElementTree library, preferably with the c implementation
