The following example, included with Sab-pyth, uses the low level functions exported by the Sablot module to python, to process an XML file input.xml with an XSL style sheet sheet.xsl.
# read the input files: sheet = open('sheet.xsl', 'r').read() input = open('input.xml', 'r').read() import Sablot # create a processor object: sp = Sablot.CreateProcessor() # call the run() method: sp.run('arg:sheet', 'arg:input', 'arg:output', [], [('input', input), ('sheet', sheet)]) # print the output, assuming it is encoded in utf-8 (the default # encoding output by Sablotron): text = unicode(sp.getResultArg('output'), 'utf8') print text.encode('ISO-8859-1')
