validate() throwing exception for a valid schema

[port-b]

I am trying to validate python dicts, to check if they are a valid JSON schema. I pulled a schema from https://json-schema.org/learn/miscellaneous-examples#complex-object-with-nested-properties to test it with here is my code:

import jsonschema

input_schema = {
    "$id": "https://example.com/complex-object.schema.json",
    "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema",
    "title": "Complex Object",
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
        "name": {
            "type": "string"
        },
        "age": {
            "type": "integer",
            "minimum": 0
        },
        "address": {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {
                "street": {
                    "type": "string"
                },
                "city": {
                    "type": "string"
                },
                "state": {
                    "type": "string"
                },
                "postalCode": {
                    "type": "string",
                    "pattern": "\\d{5}"
                }
            },
            "required": ["street", "city", "state", "postalCode"]
        },
        "hobbies": {
            "type": "array",
            "items": {
                "type": "string"
            }
        }
    },
    "required": ["name", "age"]
}

try:
    validator = jsonschema.Draft7Validator.META_SCHEMA
    jsonschema.validate(validator, input_schema)
    print("Valid schema")

except jsonschema.exceptions.ValidationError as e:
    print("Invalid")
    print(f"{e}")

I am getting the following exception

Invalid

I would expect this to be a valid schema?

You have your arguments reversed, so you validated the metaschema under your schema, rather than your schema under the metaschema.

You mean jsonschema.validate(input_schema, validator) or jsonschema.validators.Draft7Validator.check_schema(input_schema).
