At a glimpse

Solving the Wikipedia XSLT example #1:

def extract_person(element):
    return element.attrib['username'], element.find('name').text

def append_person(previous_result, target):
    element = etree.SubElement(target, 'name', {'username': previous_result[0]})
    element.text = previous_result[1]
    return element

transformation = Transformation(
    Rule('person', (extract_person, append_person)),
    result_object='context.target', context={'target': etree.Element('root')})

Solving the Wikipedia XSLT example #2:

def generate_skeleton(context, e):
    context.html = e.html(
        e.head(e.title('Testing XML Example')),
        e.body(e.h1('Persons'), e.ul()))
    context.persons_list = context.html.xpath('./body/ul', smart_prefix=True)[0]

def extract_person(element, persons):
    persons.append((element.find('name').text, element.find('family-name').text))

def list_persons(previous_result, persons_list, e):
    persons_list.extend(e.li(f'{x[1]}, {x[0]}') for x in previous_result)

transformation = Transformation(
    lib.add_elementmaker(namespace='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'),
    generate_skeleton,
    Rule('person', extract_person),
    lib.sorter('persons', itemgetter(1)),
    list_persons,
    result_object='context.html', context={'persons': []})
