<p>PyXB stands for Python U{W3C XML
Schema&lt;<a class="reference external" href="http://www.w3.org/XML/Schema">http://www.w3.org/XML/Schema</a>&gt;} Bindings, and is pronounced
&#8220;pixbee&#8221;.  It enables translation between XML instance documents and
Python objects following rules specified by an XML Schema document.</p>
<p>This is the top-level entrypoint to the PyXB system.  Importing this
gets you all the <a class="reference internal" href="#pyxb.exceptions_.PyXBException" title="pyxb.exceptions_.PyXBException"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal"><span class="pre">exceptions</span></code></a>, and
<a class="reference internal" href="pyxb.namespace.html#module-pyxb.namespace" title="pyxb.namespace"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal"><span class="pre">pyxb.namespace</span></code></a>.  For more functionality, delve into these
submodules:</p>
