Pyx12 is a HIPAA X12 document validator and converter. It parses an ANSI X12N data file and validates it against a representation of the Implementation Guidelines for a HIPAA transaction. By default, it creates a 997 response for 4010 and a 999 response for 5010. It can create an html representation of the X12 document or can translate to and from an XML representation of the data file.

Pyx12 uses some runtime features of setuptools / distribute. If you use pip to install, all is good. If not, install setuptools first.
