xslt on windows

[Sam Brauer]

If you're using 4Suite-0.12.0, there is no xml.xslt to import.
Instead, you should import Ft.Xml.Xslt.
This is mentioned at
http://4suite.org/docs/howto/UNIX.xml
in the section "Important for Application Developers".

This is the case regardless of OS.

Here's a really basic example of usage:

import Ft.Xml.Xslt.Processor, Ft.Xml.InputSource
import sys

if(len(sys.argv) < 3):
     sys.stderr.write("usage: %s style.xsl doc.xml\n" % sys.argv[0])
     sys.exit(1)

processor = Ft.Xml.Xslt.Processor.Processor()

f = open(sys.argv[1])
xsl_data = f.read()
f.close()

f = open(sys.argv[2])
xml_data = f.read()
f.close()

processor.appendStylesheet(Ft.Xml.InputSource.DefaultFactory.fromString(xsl_data, 
"uri"))
result = 
processor.run(Ft.Xml.InputSource.DefaultFactory.fromString(xml_data, "uri"))
processor.reset()

print xml_data


(Some of the long lines at the end of the script may have
unintended linebreaks.)

By the way, it would probably be best to ask about this sort of thing on 
4suite's mailing list...
