Hello all,

I am reasonably new to Python/QT and am having a few issues with transforming an XML file into HTML to be displayed in a QWebView by using an xsl file.

I am using QXmlQuery to take in the XML and XSL files but the problem I seem to be having is that it doesn't appear to produce a result when using .evaluateTo(). My peference is to pass through a generated XML string to the .setFocus() and then retrieve a string containing the HTML from the .evelauteTo(). But for testing I am just passing the XML file through from the file system.

I have attached my python/QT code as well as the XML/XSL doucments that may assist.

PyQT code:
Qt Code: 
  1. dummyString = QString()
  2.  
  3. xmlQuery = QXmlQuery(QXmlQuery.XSLT20)
  4. xmlQuery.setFocus(QUrl('../DATA/test.xml'))
  5. xmlQuery.setQuery(QUrl('../DATA/test.xsl'))
  6. xmlQuery.evaluateTo(dummyString)
  7.  
  8. print dummyString (nothing returned)
