You may use schema (PyPi Link)

schema is a library for validating Python data structures, such as those obtained from config-files, forms, external services or command-line parsing, converted from JSON/YAML (or something else) to Python data-types.

from schema import Schema, And, Use, Optional, SchemaError

def check(conf_schema, conf):
    try:
        conf_schema.validate(conf)
        return True
    except SchemaError:
        return False

conf_schema = Schema({
    'version': And(Use(int)),
    'info': {
        'conf_one': And(Use(float)),
        'conf_two': And(Use(str)),
        'conf_three': And(Use(bool)),
        Optional('optional_conf'): And(Use(str))
    }
})

conf = {
    'version': 1,
    'info': {
        'conf_one': 2.5,
        'conf_two': 'foo',
        'conf_three': False,
        'optional_conf': 'bar'
    }
}

print(check(conf_schema, conf))

You can use a schema validator for validating schemas. There are special schemas called meta-schemas, that validate other "normal" schemas (and themself). For the json schema specification, you can download such meta-schemas from the specification webpage.

There you can download the "Core/Validation Dialect meta-schema". You then can validate any other json schema with

$ jsonschema -i your_specific_schema.json meta_schema.json

Of cource you can also use it in your python code.
