Same thing happens with a for-each, again in xmlFreeNodeList :/

However, something that just occurred to me.  If I change my class a bit 
so that the xsl stylesheet is no longer instantiated as a class-level 
attribute, but instead the stylesheet is created within the method call:

     def html(self):
         xsl = etree.XSLT(etree.parse(open(os.path.join(util.datadir(), 
'xsl', 'weather.xsl'))))
         doc = etree.fromstring(self.document)
         html = xsl(doc)
         return unicode(html)

It works ok.

Previously it was like:

     xsl = etree.XSLT(etree.parse(open(os.path.join(util.datadir(), 
'xsl', 'weather.xsl'))))

     def html(self):
         doc = etree.fromstring(self.document)
         html = self.xsl(doc)
         return unicode(html)


I think this must be a multi-threading issue.  Does this help?

Cheers,

Doug.
