I'm using 4xslt on win2k and it works well. However, the documentation
is lagging way behind the code, and it took me some groveling through
the 4suite mailing list before I could do this:

-----------
from Ft.Xml.Xslt import Processor
from Ft.Xml import InputSource

TRANSFORM = """<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template
  match="*|@*|comment()|processing-instruction()|text()">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates
     select="*|@*|comment()|processing-instruction()|text()"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>"""

processor = Processor.Processor()
transform = InputSource.DefaultFactory.fromString(TRANSFORM,
"http://okaynetwork.com/identity.xslt")
processor.appendStylesheet(transform)

def xform(s):
    source = InputSource.DefaultFactory.fromString(s,
"http://okaynetwork.com/doc.xml")
    return processor.run(source)

-------------------------

I believe Uche Ogbuji (Mr. 4Suite) has been updating the docs
recently, but I haven't had a chance to check out the changes.

However, if you are going to stay with Microsoft, their parser is
fast, fast, fast, and you can use it via Mark Hammond's extremely
excellent win32com module.
