It could be something as big as Jena or something smaller. Do you know anything?

What looks to be the only current and active open source package:

This is a Java package but it has a Python console (via Jython):

A commercial package that has python support:

Some packages that are admittedly incomplete:

Some older packages that appear inactive:

  • Really nice findings! I will have to take a closer look at these and I'll get back to you. – jsalonen Dec 05 '11 at 11:49
  • Indeed nice findings. However, as you stated, most of these packages our somewhat outdated. I will give you +1 one, but I'm afraid these findings didn't address my key question here (=OWL reasoner for Python). – jsalonen Dec 05 '11 at 11:52

Most people use rdflib, but that focuses on RDF, not OWL.

Here is a similar question at answers.semanticweb.com: Python OWL2 API which references this one: Is there a tool for reading functional owl syntax in Python? . Answers to both of them mention InfixOWL which is a part of FuXi.

FuXi does not support RDFLib 3, but there is a ticket as well as some active effort for making that happen. If you wish to use FuXi right away, you can always switch from RDFLib to layercake ("an RDFLib fork readily compatible with FuXi").

  • Very nice. What I find annoying is that FuXi is not compatible with `rdflib 3`. Originally this lead me to think that FuXi is not actively developed, but guess I was wrong there. Very good finding! – jsalonen Dec 05 '11 at 11:49
  • Yep. FuXi on layercake was the missing solution I was just looking for. Thanks! +100 – jsalonen Dec 05 '11 at 21:28
  • I think this effort on github for supportng fuxi with rdflib 3.+ seems good https://github.com/RDFLib/FuXi – sigi Jan 18 '13 at 15:47
