Would it be possible to do a one-off transformation of the entire XSLT
file into a Python module with a single function in it, and then every
time you need that XSLT, you import that module and call the function?
That would potentially be a lot quicker than exec(), *and* would be
much clearer - there'd be an actual file on the disk with your
generated Python code, and anyone could read it and understand what
it's doing.
