Answer 1

If I'm understanding you correct, this tool might help.

XML Generator

It's what I usually use when working with XML.

If you want a solution through code you can use this:

XmlTextWriter textWriter = new XmlTextWriter("po.xml", null);
textWriter.Formatting    = Formatting.Indented;
XmlQualifiedName qname   = new XmlQualifiedName("PurchaseOrder",       
                           "http://tempuri.org");
XmlSampleGenerator generator = new XmlSampleGenerator("po.xsd", qname);
genr.WriteXml(textWriter);

Download pyXSD.

Use it to build Python class definitions from the XSD's.

Build objects from those class definitions.

Save the Python objects in XML notation.

An alternative is GenerateDS.
