So we're talking about Recipe 12.4 here, right? Let's see how the good David Ascher concludes it (emphasis mine): "XSLT is definitely trendy, because it seems *at first* well-suited to processing XML documents. [...] If, however, you're quite comfortable with Python [...], you may find that it's easier to *forget* about these newfangled technologies and use *good old Python code* to do the job. See Recipe 12.5 for a very different approach." "Recipe 12.5: Transforming an XML Document *Using Python*" I cannot say it better than David: if at all possible, go ahead and translate those "stylesheets" to Python, you'll thank yourself later. There's lots of options on this side of the hill too: PyXML, 4Suite, and a look at this column: Python & XML http://www.xml.com/pub/at/24 P.S.: I suspect that "newfangled" is actually an understatement for "disgusting". ;-) - -- Nicola Larosa - [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Any security software design that doesn't assume the enemy possesses the source code is already untrustworthy; therefore, never trust closed source." -- Eric Raymond, May 2004 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBFAjbXv0hgDImBm4RAkLVAKCUYWUPCiNJD7oglw9teBKhexRBnwCeNrXC A6f7UUToOrA4jv03eSJylVk= =UQna -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
