The following stylesheet and python script does not create the correct output in the files created.

Stylesheet:

My transformation stylesheet file contains:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
    <xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
    <xsl:template match="/">
        <cities>
            <xsl:for-each select="cities/country">
                <city name="{@capital}" isCapital="true"/>
            </xsl:for-each>
        </cities>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Python script:
