pyxslt makes it easy to turn Python objects into XML documents.  In
addition to basic XML serialization, pyxslt can also apply an XSL
stylesheet to the serialized XML fragments.  You could, for example, use
pyxslt to convert the results of an SQLObject_ query to an XHTML file.

All Python objects given to pyxslt are converted into their string
representations.  pyxslt focuses on serializing objects in such a way as
to make the construction of XSL stylesheets as easy as possible.  As a
result, pyxslt's XML serialization is usually not reversible.

In other words, pyxslt is not a replacement for pickle_, marshal_,
shelve_, or any of the other true serialization modules.  pyxslt is
designed with one-way XSL transformation in mind.

pyxslt makes use of libxml2_ to build its internal XML documents and
libxslt_ to perform XSL transformations.  Both packages must be
installed in order for pyxslt to do its job.
