Hi,

I develop Spyne (http://spyne.io), it does let you define Xml Schema
types, generate the Schema documents, (and in the upcoming release,
parse them) and also does both serialization and deserialization of
python objects from and to xml according to definitions in the xml
schema. It also does RPC :)

In case you don't want to use a framework, use lxml, it's a very good
xml manipulation library based on libxml2/libxslt. You can use
lxml.objectify for xml serialization as well.

Best,
Burak
