Description Frans Englich 2005-02-12 00:14:14 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
  
It appears like registerErrorHandler or related doesn't work as documented on  
xmlsoft.org's validate.py example. The registered function appears to never be 
called. Example code and discussion can be found at:

Cheers,

You misunderstood validity and well-formedness !
IsValid means there was a *validity* errror raised.
Your input is not well formed, a different, fatal kind of error.
Now w.r.t. the error message I don't get it on the current version:

paphio:~/XML -> cat tst.py
import libxml2

#deactivate error messages from the validation
def noerr(ctx, str):
        pass

libxml2.registerErrorHandler(noerr, None)

ctxt = libxml2.createFileParserCtxt("invalid.xml")
ctxt.validate(1)
ctxt.parseDocument()
doc = ctxt.doc()
valid = ctxt.isValid()
doc.freeDoc()
if valid != 0:
        print "validity check failed"

paphio:~/XML -> cat invalid.xml
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xml>
        <foo />
        <!--
        <thiasda
                asd
                asd

                ><>>>>>> tihs is invalid XML


                -->
</xml>

paphio:~/XML -> python tst.py
paphio:~/XML ->

  I assume this was fixed sometime ago,
