Hello,
I'm looking to use XML and XSLT for templates in a system I'm writing,
however I'm not really sure which parser is the "best". Basically,
which library has the most features, and which is the most supported?
A guide I saw mentioned importing xml.xslt, however it appears the xml
module/package contains pretty much nothing - xml.xslt outputs an
exception, No module named xslt.
Help?

I use (my own) libxml2dom [1] and XSLTools [2] to respectively parse
XML documents and perform XSL transformations on those documents, both
solutions employing the widely deployed libxml2 [3] and libxslt [4]
libraries. Alternatively, lxml [5] provides parsing and transformation
APIs based on the same underlying technologies.
A guide I saw mentioned importing xml.xslt, however it appears the xml
module/package contains pretty much nothing - xml.xslt outputs an
exception, No module named xslt.
You could inquire on the XML-SIG mailing list [6] about the status of
XSLT in PyXML or in 4Suite, one or both of which being the origin of
the xml.xslt package.

lxml arguably has the most features by now, as it is based on libxml2 and
libxslt (libexslt support is in SVN) and wraps most of their features into
easy-to-use Python APIs.
At least lxml's API is also arguably the most supported as it mostly
compatible to ElementTree (which made it into Python 2.5). http://codespeak.net/lxml
Beware though, I'm somewhat biased as I'm one of the authors.

Hi, I'm using OpenCMS and XML/XSLT to produce pages... The structure
OpenCMS use for internal pages is something like this:
<]>
The desired effect I want to get is a page with "A title" in bold
letters, so I use the following XSL:
<xsl:copy-of select="/root/title"/>

Hi,
I have an XML file created by a third party in which an element with a
simple content model has a text value consisting of 2 parts separated by a
colon, like this
<link>machine:port</link>
Is XSLT capable of parsing the value of a <link> element, to separately
extract the portions before and after the colon?
