chore(release): pact-python v3.3.0

[JP-Ellis]

[pact-python/3.3.0] 2026-04-17

🚀 Features

• Add xml matching

  A new pact.xml module provides builder functions for constructing XML request and response bodies with embedded Pact matchers. Use xml.element() to describe the XML structure and attach matchers where needed, then wrap the result with xml.body() before passing it to with_body(..., content_type="application/xml"):

  from pact import match, xml
  
  response = xml.body(
      xml.element(
          "user",
          xml.element("id", match.int(123)),
          xml.element("name", match.str("Alice")),
      )
  )
  interaction.with_body(response, content_type="application/xml")

  Repeating elements are supported via .each(min=1, examples=2) on any XmlElement. Attributes (including namespace declarations) can be passed via the attrs keyword argument.

• Allow iteration over all interactions

• Use common PactInteraction type

• Can toggle follow redirects

• Allow plugin loading delay
