Resumes, XML, Saxon, and Python I started work on my resume today and ended up installing Python, wxPython, and Saxon. Actually I installed Instant-Saxon as I gradually figured out I didn't need the full Saxon. I was looking Mark Pilgrim's resume in XML format and figured out that he had used resume library. So I after downloaded the latest copy off of Sourceforge, I started to download Xerces/Xalan. I was about 25% done when I noticed that Mark had used Saxon and Python. A little internet search later and I had identified that Saxon was a much smaller program and Instant-Saxon was really small. For kicks I tried Instant-Saxon on Mark's xml resume and it worked. Mark really didn't need to use Python. He uses it to create a Word document and there are easier ways than using Python.
