2424As a first step, our project aims to bring the existing capabilities of WmlCompare into the Python world. Thankfully,
2525XML Power Tools is full cross-platform as it is written in .NET and compiles with the still-maintained .NET 8. The
26- resulting binaries can be compiled for the latest versions of Windows and Linux (Ubuntu specifically, though other
27- distributions should work fine too).
