RE: [docbook-apps] processing modular docbook

[Tim Arnold <Tim.Arnold@sas.com>]

lxml is a Pythonic binding for the libxml2 and libxslt libraries, not really a tool or script.
For my process, the XML document is already in memory; it's actually faster to use the lxml library than to physically write out the file and make the system call to xsltproc. 
thanks,
