[xsl] Python and XSLT pt2

["dvint@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a different question but related to the code in the previous. I 
thought I was passing parameter values to the stylesheet correctly, but 
I just tried changing a value and I found that it isn't doing what I 
expect.

I've confirmed that the Python parts for passing and changing the 
parameter are correct, it isn't reaching the stylesheet. Note that 
previously I was using these stylesheets and call java at the command 
line and that process was working. Here is the Python

def run_saxon_py(input_file, xslt_file, output_file=None, 
TRYREQUEST=None, DEBUG=None):

    time_to_wait = 10
    time_counter = 0
    while not os.path.exists(input_file):
        time.sleep(2)
        time_counter += 2
        print(f"WARNING: Waiting for \"{input_file}\" to exist to apply 
\"{xslt_file}\".")
        if time_counter > time_to_wait:break
    try:
        with PySaxonProcessor(license=False) as proc:

            xsltproc = proc.new_xslt30_processor()
            executable = 
xsltproc.compile_stylesheet(stylesheet_file=xslt_file)


            if DEBUG == 'yes':
                executable.set_parameter('DEBUG', 
proc.make_string_value('yes'))

            if TRYREQUEST == 'yes':
                executable.set_parameter('P1_CONTENT', 
proc.make_string_value('yes'))

            if output_file == None:
                messages =  
executable.transform_to_value(source_file=input_file)
                print(messages)
            else:
                # Perform the transformation and write the output 
directly to a file
                result_file = xsltproc.transform_to_file(
                    source_file=input_file,
                    stylesheet_file=xslt_file,
                    output_file=output_file
                )
                # print(f"Transformation complete. Output saved to: 
{result_file}")

    except Exception as e:
        print(f"ERROR: Unable to apply \"{xslt_file}\" to 
\"{input_file}\": \n{e}\n")




TRYREQUEST is the value I'm trying to change. I'm setting it to yes, but 
instead of getting that value, my default definition of no is not 
changing.

Parameter setting:

	<xsl:param name="P1_CONTENT" select="'no'"/>	<!-- P1 collections uses 
Try Request -->

I added a message in the template where this matters

	<xsl:template match="partial" mode="partials">
		<xsl:param name="topicid" />

		<xsl:message>TRY REQUEST: <xsl:value-of 
select="$P1_CONTENT"/></xsl:message>
               ....

And I get this result in the terminal window

Info: Step 4 Create the nav.adoc and antora.yaml.

TRY REQUEST: no
TRY REQUEST: no
TRY REQUEST: no
TRY REQUEST: no
TRY REQUEST: no
TRY REQUEST: no
TRY REQUEST: no
TRY REQUEST: no
TRY REQUEST: no
TRY REQUEST: no
TRY REQUEST: no
TRY REQUEST: no
TRY REQUEST: no
TRY REQUEST: no
TRY REQUEST: no
TRY REQUEST: no

Thoughts?
