Parsing it is no problem; any Python parser will do. Validating it is
currently not supported in PyXML; you may want to try XSV - see the
PyXML "other software" page for a reference.

I'll check it out XSV

If you merely want to get the data, then I would suggest that
validation is not needed. In this case, I'd recommend to build a DOM
tree, e.g. using

tree = xml.dom.minidom.parse(resource)

and then either use DOM accessors or XPath to get the data.

Do you have sample entire code to have a look?
