No, the XML is not yet stable. Is has been stable for a year now, but we are
about to release TJ 2.0. It supports an unlimited number of scenarios. This
is not possible with the current XML format. This is the last big TODO for
2.0 and I will work on this over the next few weeks.
The error reporting is designed for IDE like tools (e.g. vi or emacs). The
error messages mostly reference tjx source code locations.

The code is there already. The KDE Gantt viewer reads in the XML files. But
the XML is currently not a full replacement for the tjx Syntax. It only
supports scheduled projects and not unscheduled raw data. I've planned to
extend the reader for 2.0 but there has been no interest for this so far. It
might come later.
Can you explain a bit more, what you want to achive with the python wrapper?
What can it be used for?
