Re: [lxml-dev] Transform parameter variables

...

Note the two stars before "the_dict". This is standard Python syntax for expanding a mapping into keyword arguments.

I'm Sorry - still no luck passing a dictionary as extentions parameter The stylesheet has a parameter: <xsl:param name="area" select="'ost'"/>

The parameter is picked up in the transformation if I use: transform(doc, area="'3751'") but not when I use the_dict transform(doc, {'area':'"'3751'"'}) or any other variant of a dictionary or a dict_variable I can think of!

Try

transform(doc, **{'area':"3751"})

Note the two stars, read up on python syntax on function calling and

keyword parameters.
