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. -- Der GMX SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen! Ideal für Modem und ISDN: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/smartsurfer
