jsonschema-pyref
This package adds support to
jsonschema's RefResolver for
resolving schema $refs with two new custom URL schemes:


py-obj: URLs with this scheme allow loading a schema from a dict in a
Python module/class/etc. This uses dotted attribute notation for the path
to the schema. For example py-obj:package.submodule.Class.schema
resolves to a schema class attribute in the class Class in the module
package.submodule.


py-pkgdata: URLs with this scheme allow loading a schema from a file
(currently only JSON and YAML are supported) in the package data installed
with a Python package. For example
py-pkgdata:package.subpackage/schema.json loads the schema from the file
schema.json under package/subpackage from wherever the package is
installed.


Many JSON Schemas have an
$id
property declaring the unique identity of the schema. Typically this is an
http(s) URL, but there is nothing requiring it to be. Often this is just
used for namespacing, and the supplied URL does technically require to
exist.
In practice, if your Python package ships with a number of schemas used by
the package, and you would like to reference those schemas either from
another package, or relative to other schemas in the same package, the use
of the http scheme for schema $ids doesn't help with this. It is
necessary to provide some kind of mapping between the URLs in the schema
$ids, and their actual location in the Python package.
The use of these custom URL schemes makes it implicit that this schema's
home is in a Python package or module (in the case of schemas declared
directly in Python code) and that it is not located on a network resource.
This gives an alternative way to declare the $ids of and $ref schemas
installed alongside Python code.
Examples
>>> import jsonschema
>>> from jsonschema_pyref import RefResolver
>>> schema = {
... 'properties': {
... 'a': {'$ref': 'py-obj:jsonschema_pyref.examples.schema1'},
... 'b': {'$ref': 'py-pkgdata:jsonschema_pyref.examples/schema1.json'},
... 'c': {'$ref': 'py-pkgdata:jsonschema_pyref.examples/schema2.yml'}
... }
... }
>>> resolver = RefResolver.from_schema(schema)
>>> doc = {'a': 'hello', 'b': 'world', 'c': 123}
>>> jsonschema.validate(doc, schema, resolver=resolver) is None
True

As a convenience, jsonschema_pyref.validate is also provided as a drop-in
replacement for jsonschema.validate which uses the custom RefResolver by
default:
>>> from jsonschema_pyref import validate
>>> validate(doc, schema) is None
True

Let's have a look at what's in the referenced schemas to see exactly
what we're validating the document against:
>>> from pkgutil import get_data
>>> import jsonschema_pyref.examples
>>> jsonschema_pyref.examples.schema1
{'type': 'string'}
>>> def show_file(filename):
... data = get_data('jsonschema_pyref.examples', filename)
... print(data.decode('ascii').strip())
...
>>> show_file('schema1.json')
{"type": "string"}
>>> show_file('schema2.yml')
type: integer

These example schemas may be trivial, but you can easily confirm that this
would work all the same with a more complex schema.
Just to prove that the correct schemas are actually being loaded (and the
document is not just being trivially validated) we can also try some
counter-examples:
>>> doc1 = dict(doc, a=123)
>>> jsonschema.validate(doc1, schema, resolver=resolver)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
jsonschema.exceptions.ValidationError: 123 is not of type 'string'
...
Failed validating 'type' in schema['properties']['a']:
{'type': 'string'}
...
On instance['a']:
123

>>> doc2 = dict(doc, b=123)
>>> jsonschema.validate(doc2, schema, resolver=resolver)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
jsonschema.exceptions.ValidationError: 123 is not of type 'string'
...
Failed validating 'type' in schema['properties']['b']:
{'type': 'string'}
...
On instance['b']:
123

>>> doc3 = dict(doc, c='hello')
>>> jsonschema.validate(doc3, schema, resolver=resolver)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
jsonschema.exceptions.ValidationError: 'hello' is not of type 'integer'
...
Failed validating 'type' in schema['properties']['c']:
{'type': 'integer'}
...
On instance['c']:
'hello'

Here is a slightly more complex example demonstrating how relative refs
work with py-pkgdata URLs, as well as that fragments are correctly
resolved relative to each schema.
First we have schema4.yml which also contains an $id property, allowing
jsonschema.RefResolver to correctly determine the base URL against which
to resolve relative refs (in the case of {"$ref": "schema3.json"}):
>>> show_file('schema4.yml')
$id: "py-pkgdata:jsonschema_pyref.examples/schema4.yml"
type: "object"
properties:
foo: {"$ref": "schema3.json"}
bar: {"$ref": "#/$defs/bar"}
additionalProperties: false
$defs:
bar: {"type": "integer"}

And schema3.json:
>>> show_file('schema3.json')
{
"$id": "py-pkgdata:jsonschema_pyref.examples/schema3.json",
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"foo": {"$ref": "#/$defs/foo"}
},
"additionalProperties": false,
"$defs": {
"foo": {"type": "string"}
}
}

Here is a document that should validate against schema4 which we'll
load also by $ref:
>>> doc = {
... 'foo': {'foo': 'hello'},
... 'bar': 123
... }
...
>>> schema = {'$ref': 'py-pkgdata:jsonschema_pyref.examples/schema4.yml'}
>>> resolver = RefResolver.from_schema(schema)
>>> jsonschema.validate(doc, schema, resolver=resolver) is None
True

And again a couple counter-examples:
>>> doc1 = dict(doc, foo={'foo': 123})
>>> jsonschema.validate(doc1, schema, resolver=resolver)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
jsonschema.exceptions.ValidationError: 123 is not of type 'string'
...
Failed validating 'type' in schema['properties']['foo']['properties']['foo']:
{'type': 'string'}
...
On instance['foo']['foo']:
123

>>> doc2 = dict(doc, bar='bar')
>>> jsonschema.validate(doc2, schema, resolver=resolver)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
jsonschema.exceptions.ValidationError: 'bar' is not of type 'integer'
...
Failed validating 'type' in schema['properties']['bar']:
{'type': 'integer'}
...
On instance['bar']:
'bar'
