I will gladly post the code if you still want me to after reading this 
article:

http://www.WebmasterBase.com/article/595/25

The above deep link is actually not the BEGINNING of the tutorial, but 
if you click back to the beginning you'll see it focuses on an intro to 
XSLT theory and how you can use it with PHP.  So it's not really 
relevant for this audience.  But the point in the tutorial that I've 
linked to is where the XSLT-tutorial starts, and this isn't specific to 
any language (except XSLT), so it's good for Python users too.

I'm on my way to work but if people want me to post a bit more detail on 
how XSLT is used from Python, from "Python & XML" I will -- but really, 
the above tutorial does a fine job of explainining the basics of XSLT 
and the book simply goes a few steps further with some good examples 
(several pages in fact).  The difference is that the SitePoint tutorial 
focuses on using a browser's built-in XSLT processor and the Python book 
explains how to use an external [pre]processor called 4XSLT 
(http://fourthought.com/).

Good luck,

Erik
