FourThought LLC (http://FourThought.com) announces the release of
4XSLT and 4XPath 0.8.1 ---------------------- A python implementation of the W3C's XSLT language
4XSLT is an XML transformation processor based on the W3C's specification for the XSLT transform language. 4XPath implements the W3C XPath language for indicating and selecting XML document components.
4XPath implements the full 4XPath recommendation except for the 'lang' core function.
Currently, 4XSLT supports a sub-set of the XSLT recommendation including the following:
Full expression support and attribute-value template expansion xsl:include xsl:import xsl:template xsl:apply-imports xsl:apply-templates xsl:copy xsl:call-template xsl:if xsl:for-each xsl:choose xsl:element xsl:when xsl:attribute xsl:otherwise xsl:text xsl:message xsl:value-of xsl:variable xsl:processing-instruction xsl:param xsl:comment xsl:with-param xsl:strip-space xsl:key xsl:preserve-space xsl:copy-of xsl:sort xsl:namespace-alias xsl:output
and, of course, xsl:stylesheet, xsl:transform, literal elements and text
Using the xml output method, 4XSLT produces the result tree by throwing events from the emerging SAX 2 standard to a handler, so it can be easily modified to supply results to any SAX 2 consumer. For the 'html' and 'text' output methods special SAX consumers produce HTML DOM nodes and plain text respectively.
