No - as a simple test reveals: #The identity transform: duplicates the input to output TRANSFORM = """<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0"> <xsl:template match="@*|node()"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> """ #And I don't even like Monty Python, folks SOURCE1 = """<spam id="eggs">What do you mean "bleah"</spam>""" SOURCE2 = """<spam id="eggs">I don't like spam</spam>""" import threading from Ft.Xml.Xslt import Processor processor = Processor.Processor() import time, sys from Ft.Xml import InputSource transform = InputSource.DefaultFactory.fromString(TRANSFORM, "http://spam.com/identity.xslt";) processor.appendStylesheet(transform) #Now the processor is prepped with a transform and ccan be used #over and over for the same transform results = [] source = InputSource.DefaultFactory.fromString(SOURCE1, "http://spam.com/doc1.xml";) source2 = InputSource.DefaultFactory.fromString(SOURCE2, "http://spam.com/doc2.xml";) threading.Thread(target=lambda: results.append(processor.run(source))).start() # comment the following line to make things crash. time.sleep(5) threading.Thread(target=lambda: results.append(processor.run(source2))).start() time.sleep(5) print results -- Regards, Diez B.
