:: They are tightly related but can be used independantly. (For

:: Python 1.4 on an IBM mainframe using a Java based PYX generator!).

:: The common thread is the PYX notation. Pyxie is a library

PYX appears to have some general appeal. In March, Shawn published
an article on Pyxie in xml.com and within a few days, readers had been
spurred to write PYX processors in Perl and Java.
