Thanks for your help.  Switching to Ft.Xml.Xslt seems to have eliminated
that problem, but now I get another error.  I followed your page on
python-xslt and modeled my code accordingly, but I get the following error
now:

06:02:25 d:/python/src/version5 :: python quotesSearch.py
::: Using minidom
Traceback (most recent call last):

    self.appendChild(Text(''))
TypeError: this constructor takes no arguments

The code that I am using is as follows:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# quotesSearch.py

import sys, cgi

from xml.sax import make_parser
from quoteHandler import QuotationHandler, QuotationErrorHandler
from Ft.Xml.Xslt.Processor import Processor, InputSource

def main(IDNumbers):
    ch = QuotationHandler()
    ch.setQuoteNumbers(IDNumbers)
    erh = QuotationErrorHandler()
    saxparser = make_parser()
    saxparser.setContentHandler(ch)
    saxparser.setErrorHandler(erh)
    saxparser.parse("foo3.xml")
    xsltproc = Processor()
    transform = InputSource.DefaultFactory.fromUri("quoteTransform.xsl",
"http://sims.berkeley.edu/~calvins/quotes")
    source =
InputSource.DefaultFactory.fromString(ch.xmlQuotes.encode("UTF-8"),
"http://sims.berkeley.edu/~calvins/quotes")
    xsltproc.appendStylesheet(transform)
    print xsltproc.run(source)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main([10, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500])

I also get the same error message when I try to run your code from
http://uche.ogbuji.net/tech/akara/pyxml/python-xslt/ (the last example on
the page), so I guess something is still not right with my installation.  Is
this error message familiar to anybody?

thanks,
