                  _XSLTResultTree

The result of an XSLT evaluation.

Use `str()` or `bytes()` (or `unicode()` in Python 2.x) to serialise to a string, and the `.write_output()` method to write serialise to a file.

Method Details | [hide private]

### __new__(T, S, ...)

Returns: a new object with type S, a subtype of T
Overrides: object.__new__

### __str__(x)
(Informal representation operator)

str(x)

Overrides: object.__str__

### write_output(...)

write_output(self, file, *, compression=0)

Serialise the XSLT output to a file or file-like object.

As opposed to the generic `.write()` method, `.write_output()` serialises the result as defined by the `<xsl:output>` tag.
