How to transform an XML file using XSLT in Python?

Question

Good day! Need to convert xml using xslt in Python. I have a sample code in php.

How to implement this in Python or where to find something similar? Thank you!

$xmlFileName = dirname(__FILE__)."example.fb2"; $xml = new DOMDocument(); $xml->load($xmlFileName);  $xslFileName = dirname(__FILE__)."example.xsl"; $xsl = new DOMDocument; $xsl->load($xslFileName);  // Configure the transformer $proc = new XSLTProcessor(); $proc->importStyleSheet($xsl); // attach the xsl rules echo $proc->transformToXML($xml); 

Answer 1

Using lxml,

import lxml.etree as ET  dom = ET.parse(xml_filename) xslt = ET.parse(xsl_filename) transform = ET.XSLT(xslt) newdom = transform(dom) print(ET.tostring(newdom, pretty_print=True)) 

Answer 2

LXML is a widely used high performance library for XML processing in python based on libxml2 and libxslt - it includes facilities for XSLT as well.
