  libxslt (and xsltproc) are not tied to python. But you can write
Python code making use of them. In that framework it's possible to
do the binding. In practice, take libxslt/python/tests/pyxsltproc.py
look at libxslt/python/tests/extfunc.py for an example of building
and calling such an extension fuction, and customize pyxsltproc.py
to add your extensions either in the same module or in a .py imported
from it.

  Admited, it's bleeding edge ATM !
