I know this is still vaporware as I haven't made a release yet (but it works! Release forthcoming real soon now, I promise!), but lxml quite nicely exposes Relax NG functionalities from libxml2: # make a relax NG object from some xml relaxng_doc = lxml.etree.parse(someschemafile()) relaxng = lxml.etree.RelaxNG(relaxng_doc) # now validate another file with it doc = lxml.etree.parse(somexmlfile()) if relaxng.validate(doc): print "it's valid!" else: print "it's not valid!" The main important thing still missing from lxml is better error reporting, though.
