That's probably a bit unintuitive from the snippet I gave. It works like this: Since XML_PARSE_NONET is also part of _XML_DEFAULT_PARSE_OPTIONS, the XOR logic here switches it off again when no_network has been explicitly set to False. > And regarding the default behavior.

It's been a long time since I experimented with includes/imports in XML Schemas in lxml. Can't really remember the workings but in my case it was rather the other way round, i.e. no (external/remote) network access and wanting to load included/imported schemas from a local catalog. Have you tried running with XML_CATALOG_FILES set to an empty value to suppress default catalog settings? E.g. XML_CATALOG_FILES= python myprog.py I found this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lxml/+bug/1234114 So it seems like it is indeed not "simply" possible to suppress XMLSchema network access (but maybe through catalog setup: "[...] and external imports should always be covered by catalogues (otherwise, that's a configuration problem on the user side)[...]", see the issue conversation). Another thought might be custom URI resolvers but I don't know how they tie into XML Schema handling (https://lxml.de/resolvers.html#uri-resolvers).
