What version of 4Suite did you install? Unfortunately, 0.11.x and
earlier don't work with PyXML 0.7. That incompatibility could account
for your import error.

Should work for 4Suite 0.12 series. Earlier versions spelled it
as xml.xslt.

Actually, I think xsltproc is backwards. Every other XSLT processor
I know of, including 4XSLT, does it:

  <xsltcommand> document.xml stylesheet.xsl

For 4Suite, if you want to specify an output file, you can use the
-o option:

  4xslt -o foo.html document.xml stylesheet.xsl

or use a shell redirect:

  4xslt document.xml stylesheet.xsl >foo.html

To pass a parameter, you can use one or more -D statements:

  4xslt -Dcolor=red -Dstatus=fubar doc.xml style.xsl

Hope that helps a bit.
