There are two possible approaches:

  1. set up an HTTP service that accepts tranformation requests and implements them by invoking Saxon from Java; you can then send the transformation requests from Python over HTTP

  2. use the Saxon/C product, currently available on prerelease: details here: http://www.saxonica.com/saxon-c/index.xml
