Yahoo! Term Extraction and Contextual Web Search services to be discontinued. The official closure date is August 31st. Term extraction was really useful--thankfully there are a number of decent alternatives such as Zemanta, OpenCalais and topia.termextract.

minixsv (via) As far as I can tell, this is the only library that can validate XML using pure Python (no C extension required). I'd be extremely happy if someone would write a pure Python library (or one that only depends on ElementTree, which is included in the standard library) for validating XML against a Relax NG Compact syntax schema. Even DTD validation would be better than nothing!
