	The validator consists of a ~~CGI driver~~ and a ~~handful of~~ Python support ~~modules~~. ~~You can download~~ the ~~tarball here~~. The ~~parsing~~ is ~~performed by ccRdf, a set of~~ Python ~~classes~~ that ~~wrap~~ Creative Commons ~~licenses. These classes provide facilities to parse, examine and emit license and work-related~~ RDF.		The validator consists of a Pylons web app called "validator" and a Python support module called "libvalidator." libvalidator handles RDF in many formats; RDF in a comment, RDFa, or inline RDF/XML. HTML is processed by html5lib, and the RDF is passed on to RDFlib. The CC RDF information is accessed via the cc.license Python module that wraps the Creative Commons RDF data.
