[XML-SIG] RE: Python Wrapper for Xerces/Xalan

[Brian Quinlan]

I have actually already started a similar project. Currently, I provide a
loose wrapping around Xalan i.e.

transform( <source:file|URI|buffer> [, <stylesheet:file|URI|buffer>], [,
<toplevelparams:dict>] )
	=3D> string containing transformed source file

I was planning on making the first run available soon.

Hi!



We consider doing a wrapper for Xerces and Xalan as an OS project. One

question is where to host it:



	1. Own SourceForge project

	2. Part of PyXML

	3. Part of Xerces / Xalan projects



3 is unlikely. Option 2 seems not too clever, since installing Xerces

and Xalan are extra steps anyway, and I doubt anyone seriously wants to

include them in a standard PyXML distribution.



Working title for the project would be "pirxx" (Python InteRface to

Xalan and Xerces, anyone who has read Stanislaw Lem should know where

the name comes from).



Before we really launch this, I also would like to know who's

interested into such a wrapper (I've seen some requests in the past)

and also who would be able and willing to contribute (developers,

documenters, beta-testers, ...).





Ciao, J=FCrgen
