I made good experience with "PyXB".

This package takes an XML-schema definition and generates Python classes
from it. XML documents (conforming to the schema) can be parsed into
instances of those classes and instances of those classes can
be serialized as XML documents.

It hides well (many of) the complexities of XML-schema (if the
schemas are given).
