Yes. NSS provides a variety of tools to test validation.

Going just on memory here, our current version of python-nss has a 
simple call to test validation. Sometime in the last year I added a fair 
amount of new support for certificate validation including getting back 
diagnostic information for validation failures, however if I recall 
correctly the extended functionality in python-nss has not been released 
yet.

Finding time to work on python-nss has been a problem. This is further 
complicated by the fact Mozilla has changed from CVS to Mercurial while 
I had this code in development and I haven't moved over to the new 
distributed SCM yet.
