.. _pyxb_related: Related Packages ================ The following packages may be useful as an alternative to or used in conjunction with PyXB: - The `Zolera SOAP Infrastructure <http://pywebsvcs.sourceforge.net/zsi.html>`_ is the backbone of the `Python Web Services <http://pywebsvcs.sourceforge.net/>`_ project. It is specifically intended to support web service interaction with SOAP and WSDL. The primary purpose of ZSI is SOAP, but it generates bindings for some XML Schema constructs. - `generateDS <http://www.rexx.com/~dkuhlman/generateDS.html>`_ is an alternative package that is intended to do the same general thing as PyXB, though it uses a very different approach for extending bindings. - The `Amara XML Toolkit <http://xml3k.org/Amara>`_ appears to be a fairly complete set of XML tools for Python evolved from the `4Suite <http://4suite.org/>`_ infrastructure. Amara supports `binding an object to an existing XML document <http://xml3k.org/Amara2/Whatsnew#Creatingabinderydocumentfromscratch>`_ and has references to `RELAX NG <http://relaxng.org/>`_ and `Schematron <http://www.schematron.com/>`_, but does not address `XML Schema <http://www.w3.org/XML/Schema>`_.
