py_w3c 0.1.2

W3C services for python.

Installation:
pip install py_w3c

Usage:
1. As library -

# import HTML validator
from py_w3c.validators.html.validator import HTMLValidator

# create validator instance
vld = HTMLValidator()

# validate
vld.validate("http://datetostr.org")

# look for errors
print vld.errors # list with dicts

# look for warnings
print vld.warnings

There are 3 methods of validating:
1. validate url - HTMLValidator().validate(url)
2. validate file - HTMLValidator().validate_file(filename_or_file) # StringIO aware.
3. validate fragment - HTMLValidator().validate_fragment(fragment_string)

You can pass charset or doctype while creating validator instance. This will force validator to use passed doctype or charset for validation.
Example.
vld = HTMLValidator(doctype="XHTML1", charset="utf-8")

# now validator uses XHTML1 doctype and utf-8 charset ignoring doctype and charset in the document content
vld.validate("http://datetostr.org")

2. As standalone script - (not very usefull right now)
Now only url validating is allowed for standalone script.
w3c_validate http://datetostr.org
Prints warnings and errors to the console.

Running tests.
