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 Pythondef run_saxon_py(input_file, xslt_file,
output_file=None, TRYREQUEST=None, DEBUG=None):B B B B  time_to_wait =
10B B B B  time_counter = 0B B B B  while not
os.path.exists(input_file):B B B B B B B B  time.sleep(2)B B B B B B B B

\"{input_file}\" to exist to apply \"{xslt_file}\".")B B B B B B B B  if

changing.Parameter setting:	<xsl:param name="P1_CONTENT" select="'no'"/>	<!--
