Python XML Tools as Replacement for XSLT Posted: Sep 24, 2003 5:24 AM

Martin Fowler has written an interesting piece in his Bliki on Moving Away From XSLT.

He talks about the elegance of the Ruby solution compared to the hassle of XML programming. I have to agree with him, my large scale meta-programming effort with XSLT is probably the worst code I've written in a while.

Martin mentions that Python may be an alternative too. However, the Python XML front seems in disarray (many average libraries) compared to Ruby (one very good one).

Are any of you aware of a good Python XML API that can reproduce XSLT -- like Ruby's API?

Thanks,
Alex
