No, that's why I suggested ElementTree first.

No, there isn't any XMLSchema support in the stdlib.

However, you may still be able to use lxml locally for development and with
validation enabled, and switch to non-validating ElementTree on
distribution/pre-prod-testing/whatever. Just use a conditional import and
write a bit of setup code.
