You seem to have missed my original posting, which that is a
correction to.  Here's the whole thing, corrected.


As its name suggests, runitAndShow does the output itself, but it goes
to stderr, so you may have just never seen it.

Also note the second argument is a list, so you need to say

>>> runitAndShow(xmlfile,[schemafile])

For your purposes, you want to do

"""
# validateTestXML.py

from XSV.driver import runit
import sys

xmlfile     = "myxmlfile.xml"
schemafile  = "myxsdfile.xsd"

res = runit( xmlfile, [schemafile] )

res[0].printme(sys.stdout)

"""

You can inspect res to see how your validation went.
