Greetings.
Alternatively, it would probably be good to add a new keyword argument
to function write() to xml.etree.ElementTree.
def write(self, file_or_filename,
encoding=None,
xml_declaration=None,
default_namespace=None,
method=None, *,
short_empty_elements=True,
xslt_stylesheet=None):
Keyword argument xslt_stylesheet would only need to include filename
(that is, pathname) or basename, as developer requires.
Where is the best appropriate venue to ask for such enhancement?
Kind regards,
Schimon
