I have an XML like

<a>
 <b/>
 <b c="2"/>
</a>

I have my XSD

<xs:element name="a">
 <xs:complexType>
  <xs:sequence>
   <xs:element name="b" maxOccurs="unbounded">
    <xs:attribute name="c" default="1"/>
   </xs:element>
  </xs:sequence>
 </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

I want to use my XSD to validate my original XML and fill all default values:

<a>
 <b c="1"/>
 <b c="2"/>
</a>

How do I get it in Python? With validation there is no problem (e.g. XMLSchema). The problem are the default values.
