[lxml-dev] questions about xslt with xml, where to get help?
Hi everyone I'm not completely sure whether this mailing list only intended to further develop lxml or as well for _users_ of lxml... but I haven't found any other mailing list / forum :-( I'm having problems with getting xsl transformation run. When i do: xslt_doc = etree.parse(stylesheet) transform = etree.XSLT(xslt_doc) result = transform(DOMdocument, **{statustext='some text', mode='navigation'}) the result will just be empty even tho in the documentation it is stated the paramters should be passed as keyword parameters... greetings Dominique Dominique Holzwarth | De La Rue International Limited Software Engineer dominique.holzwarth@ch.delarue.commailto:dominique.holzwarth@ch.delarue.com | tel: +41 (0) 31 997 56 13 | fax: +41 (0) 997 56 80 Berne Branch, Morgenstrasse 131, 3018 Berne, Switzerland | www.delarue.comhttp://www.delarue.com/ ***************************************************************************** This e-mail and any files attached are strictly confidential, may be legally privileged and are intended solely for the addressee.

both.
I'm having problems with getting xsl transformation run. When i do:
xslt_doc = etree.parse(stylesheet)
transform = etree.XSLT(xslt_doc)
result = transform(DOMdocument, **{statustext='some text', mode='navigation'})
the result will just be empty
this is the right way of doing it. I would expect a problem with your stylesheet. Stefan

FWIW this code is equivalent to the simpler result = transform(DOMdocument, statustext='some text', mode='navigation') Marius Gedminas -- "I may not understand what I'm installing, but that's not my job.

Well my posted code is for easy debugging / getting help only. Actually, the dict that'll be passed is generated somewhere else dynamicly, with varying keys etc. ;-) So I'll pass the dict by it's name and not pass the individual keys/values =)

this fails because there is no node called "some text" in your data. The parameter you pass is an XPath value, not a plain Python value, so if you want to pass a string instead of a node name, use "'some text'". Any patch to the docs will be appreciated. :) Stefan
