[Baypiggies] XSLT vs Python for XML manipulation [ BULKTAG PYTHONTAG ]

[Stephen McInerney]

Awesome, thanks to all who replied. XSLT-inside-Python sounds like a good
way to go and strike a compromise with reuse.
I will give each of these a look and if I have any useful comment on my experience in a few weeks
I will post it.

Regards,
Stephen

Depending on the XSLT, you might be able to use lxml,
http://codespeak.net/lxml/ .

It provides a nice interface to the libxml2 and libxslt (XSLT 1.0)
libraries.

merits and

limitations of XSLT vs Python (or XSLT into Python) for XML

(I inherited an existing flow using XSLT->PERL and I'm trying to
scope how to

implement some enhances, what to port, what to reuse. It is desirable
to share

as much of the existing codebase with other users if possible; however
clean-coding

everything in Python would be cleanest and most compact. It's hard to
make the call.)

  

Thanks,

Stephen
