Having been dragged kicking and screaming into the fussy, fussy world of XML, I find myself in a pickle.

I keep getting an error complaining of a missing end-tag:

 : XML Parse error.
<BR>XML Error Text: "; nested exception is:
        org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The element type "Description" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</Description>".".

Now of course, I have saved my output and found the end-tag to be there. I have stripped out everything I can think of that might cause the parser to puke. The string enclosed by the <Description> tags varies from a few characters to a couple of thousand: all fail with the same error.

I am very new to XML and find it's jargon fairly impenetrable. Is there a handy python module that can one can use to scan XML output for errors? I know the mistake is probably mine ... or perhaps I have actually run on to a bug in the remote application? :-) (Riiiiight!)

Thanks!
