Is there a python hamcrest matcher library for performing XML document matching?

Question

I'm interested in both xpath matching and full document comparisons:

assert_that(mydoc, hasTextAtXPath('/foo/bar', 'text'))

assert_that(mydoc, matchesStructurally('<some_xml/>'))

Does any matcher library exist for this? If not, what is the best place to start with for this type of comparison, so that I can write one of my own?

Answer 1

lxml has XPath matching: http://codespeak.net/lxml/

Answer 2

There is a Python version of Hamcrest. It does not currently provide XML matchers. I'd be happy to work on some if you define what you need.
