Hi, all:
 I was checking the state-of-the-art of the OpenEHR XML representation 
(http://www.openehr.org/releases/1.0.1/its/XML-schema/index.html) and 
also reviewing the different XML modules available in Python to 
represent data (DOM, objectify, Elementtree, lxml etc) when I found 
this: http://www.rexx.com/~dkuhlman/generateDS.html -- a module that 
generates Python classes from XML schemas (XSD files). It's not exactly 
what we were looking for back then in April, but may be useful anyway. 
Please have a look at it when you have some time.
 Best regards,
Roberto.
