[XML-SIG] XSLT parameters

[Uche Ogbuji]

Ouch.  Seems I misconfigured procmail so I hid XML-SIG messages since mid 
November.  I *thought* this list was rather quiet  :-)

In particular, xml.xslt in recent PyXML releases is broken.  Download 4Suite 
and use Ft.Xml.Xslt and make other adjustments.

e.g. from the Python & XML book:


from xml.xslt.Processor import Processor

xsltproc = Processor()

xsltproc.appendStylesheetUri("story.xsl")
html = xsltproc.runUri("story.xml")

  
becomes:


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

xsltproc = Processor()

xsltproc.appendStylesheet(DefaultFactory.fromUri("story.xsl"))
html = xsltproc.run(DefaultFactory.fromUri("story.xml"))


Good luck.
