importing a validator that defaults to the latest schema version

[Per Unneberg]

Hi,

I'm extending a property validator based on the code in the FAQ, to be used in an application. Here, a specific schema version is imported. Is there any way to import the latest schema version by default? Basically, I want to avoid hard-coding the specific version and fall back on the latest version supported by jsonschema. Is this possible?

Cheers,

There isn't currently, but draft versions aren't (haven't been) backwards compatible, so it's not completely reasonable to do -- especially since your schema should be specifying a `$schema` property pointing at their meta schema, which you'd need to update anyways. If you are doing the latter though (setting a `$schema` property), when you change the `$schema` property, if you use `jsonschema.validators.validator_for` you will get the appropriate versioned validator (assuming jsonschema supports it).

Lemme know if that makes sense.
