/ Bob Stayton <> was heard to say:
| For those of us whose python skills are just short of
| nonexistent, could you elucidate a bit more on
| what you mean by "Run extensions/xsltproc/python/xslt.py" ?

Uhm. Maybe. My skills aren't all that sharp, either.

And note the comment at the top of xslt.py:

  # THIS IS ALPHA CODE AND MAY NOT WORK CORRECTLY!

:-)

| I found the usage statement in there, so it seems one
| uses xslt.py in place of xsltproc, right?

Yes. It's a wrapper script that sets up the extension function
bindings and then invokes libxslt.

| But when I try to run it, it says it can't find the libxml2 library.
| Is that a python library, or the standard libxml2 library?
| (which is installed)

I don't know. I thought the python bindings for libxml2 were
automatically installed when you installed libxml2. If the import
statement at the top of xslt.py can't find libxml2, I'm clueless.

Daniel? Oh, Daniel?!... :-)
