I have been spending as much time as I can building various integration pieces to provide a simple, straight forward Pythonic API into the Saxon.Api library. I had need to run some tests on Mono, and so quickly built out the updated (read: extension functions work. They don't in the current
8.8 release available on SF) source against Mono 1.17.1.<br><br>You can access the bits via <a href="http://dev.pypod.net/browser/release/Saxon.NET-Mono.tar.gz?format=raw">http://dev.pypod.net/browser/release/Saxon.NET-Mono.tar.gz?format=raw

<br>I've been working a bit on creating a much more Pythonic API (<a href="http://dev.pypod.net/browser/trunk/Saxon.Ext">http://dev.pypod.net/browser/trunk/Saxon.Ext</a>) of which Sylvain is going to help me fine tune at some point tomorrow (UK Time). Either he or I will update accordingly.
