xml writer/editor -- use python's version?

I need to learn/write XML and I already have python downloaded as I am also learning python. I did notice that there was another question on stackoverflow about xml writers and python but I didn't get the idea that there was real consensus on what's easiest to use? That is, I would ideally like an XML editor that highlights my errors and helps with formatting as it can be very tedious. Should I stick with python's element tree xml app or download one of the following that I was told about? Thanks.

http://netbeans.org/downloads/index.html download Java SE and just use its editor

XML Notepad 2007 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=72d6aa49-787d-4118-ba5f-4f30fe913628&DisplayLang=en#AffinityDownloads

You're asking about two separate things.

XML Notepad and the NetBeans utility are apps for visually creating and editing XML.

Python's ElementTree is a library for programmatically creating and parsing XML.

Which one you need depends on what you want to do - create XML in an editor, or do it inside your program.

I use IntelliJ (community edition should be fine) and emacs for XML editing.

I used the Altova XMLSpy family back in the days I used windows.
