[XML-SIG] Cocoon-like, XML-Python-based web server?

Actually, 4Suite includes all this: a Web server (plus FTP server) that 
provides XML, XSLT, XPath, RDF, Xlink, XPointer, XUpdate, etc. processing 
built-in, all available from an XSLT or Python API.

Start with 4Suite 0.12.0a1

ftp://ftp.4suite.org/pub/4Suite/4Suite-0.12.0a1.tar.gz

Or if you don't mind working the bleeding edge (for a lot of advantages), grab 
the latest CVS.

At any rate, see

http://cvs.4suite.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/4Suite/docs/src/HowTos/UNIX.txt?rev=1
.3&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

or

http://cvs.4suite.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/4Suite/docs/src/HowTos/Windows.txt?re
v=1.3&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

depending on platform, then on to

?rev=1.5&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
