pyXSD project is a free, open source python program that maps xml and xsd(XML Schema) files into python, allowing for easy schema-based validation and transformation of xml files.

Benefits:

Allows for easy, non-DOM, access to XML and XML Schema from Python
Minimizes time to make small programs associated with data in an xml file using "transforms"
Highly adaptable to particular needs and to specific programs
It's free!
Platform independent

Here are some key features of "pyXSD":
Transforms allow users to easily adapt pyXSD to vast number of applications
Provides a framework and libraries to write transform so the user can more easily write these transform functions
Allows the user to specify the desired transform classes with arguments and the order in a file so the user can create a sort of custom tool
Allows for transforms that can export to other formats, giving pyXSD powerful flexibility
The pythonic data tree format uses a very simple structure that allows for an easily understood API, so that users can easily manipulate this tree in transforms and use the writer in other programs
Can be used as a standalone program at the command line or as a library in other programs
Uses the cElementTree library for fast reading of the xml and xsd files

Requirements:
Python 2.3 or later
ElementTree library, preferably with the c implementation
