For more information, see the section describing the equivalent Java extension in "DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide"[2].----------------------------------------------------------------------Preparations----------------------------------------------------------------------In addition to libxml2 and libxslt, the following software needs to be installed before you start using the extensions:1. Python[3].2. Python bindings for libxml2/libxslt. Most distributions of    libxml2/libxslt for Unix/Linux include these bindings.   A native Windows port is provided by Stéphane Bidoul[4].----------------------------------------------------------------------Installation of the extensions----------------------------------------------------------------------No special installation step is needed.----------------------------------------------------------------------How to use the extensions----------------------------------------------------------------------Instead of using xsltproc, you run a Python program (xslt.py). The command has this general form:python xslt.py xmlfile xslfile [outputfile] [param1=val1 [param2=val]...]Modify paths, filenames, and parameters as needed. Make sure to set the "use.extensions" and "tablecolumns.extension" parameters to 1.----------------------------------------------------------------------Manifest----------------------------------------------------------------------README.LIBXSLT   This filexslt.py          Executable script filedocbook.py       Module that implements extensions----------------------------------------------------------------------[1] http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT[2] http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ColumnWidths.html[3] http://www.python.org/download[4] http://users.skynet.be/sbi/libxml-python
