[OpenLayers-Users] KML rotation

[Zybotix Zybotix]

I am having a problem with getting rotation to work within KML. I am
generating my KML using mod_wsgi Python script. I have a simple circular
icon, and would like to have it rotated on a map according to a direction
of travel. I would like this to be done on the backend by Python rather
than having to write javascript code to do it. Is this possible using KML?
I have seen few examples of it, most of which are done in javascript and
some in KML but for Google Earth. Thanks for your help. Here is the output
code. I have tried placing the rotation in the Icon style, for the point,
etc, nothing seems to work.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0">
<Style id="thinRedLine">
<LineStyle>
<color>ffc97000</color>
<width>7</width>
</LineStyle>
</Style>
<Style id="smallRedCircle">
<IconStyle>
<color>ff00f00f</color>
<scale>.500</scale>
<rotation>45</rotation>
<Icon>
<href>icons/redcircle.png</href>
 </Icon>
</IconStyle>
</Style>
<Placemark>
<styleUrl>#smallRedCircle</styleUrl>
