[mod_python] Templating Systems

I'm quite the fan of having the python code deal strictly with an
xml.dom.minidom object and at the end pass it along to the browser,
or, if the client doesn't support XML, transform it server-side.

I'm currently using libxsltmod to do server-side transforms:

import libxsltmod, xml.dom.minidom

xslPath = '/path/to/xsl'
doc = xml.dom.minidom.Document()

[...]

req.write(libxsltmod.translate_to_string(
            'f', xslPath,
            's', doc.toxml()))

-berto.
