Regression 12.5 when using PyXdmFunctionItem().get_system_function?
Added by Martin Honnen 3 days ago
With 12.4.2 code like
from saxonche import *
with PySaxonProcessor() as saxon_proc:
print(saxon_proc.version)
parseJsonFn = PyXdmFunctionItem().get_system_function(saxon_proc,"{http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions}parse-json",1)
xdm_result = parseJsonFn.call(saxon_proc, [saxon_proc.make_string_value('"foo"')])
print(xdm_result)
works without problems for me (currently running Python 3.12 on Windows) outputting e.g.
SaxonC-HE 12.4.2 from Saxonica
foo
but with SaxonC HE 12.5 I find it throws an error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\marti\PycharmProjects\SaxonC12SystemFunctionTest1\main.py", line 6, in <module>
parseJsonFn = PyXdmFunctionItem().get_system_function(saxon_proc,"{http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions}parse-json",1)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "python_saxon\saxonc.pyx", line 3954, in saxonche.PyXdmValue.__init__
TypeError: __init__() takes exactly 1 positional argument (0 given)
That seems to be a regression in 12.5, or am I missing something?
Or course we also have the parse_json
function now https://www.saxonica.com/saxon-c/doc12/html/saxonc.html#PySaxonProcessor-parse_json but I still think the get_system_function
approach should work.

Hi Martin,
There has been a few breaking changes to the SaxonC Python API.
See the documentation under the sub-heading From SaxonC 12.5
: Change History
from saxoncee import *
with PySaxonProcessor() as saxon_proc:
print(saxon_proc.version)
parseJsonFn = PyXdmFunctionItem.get_system_function(saxon_proc, "{http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions}parse-json",1)
xdm_result = parseJsonFn.call([saxon_proc.make_string_value('"foo"')])
print(xdm_result)

You will notice that the get_system_function
method on PyXdmFunctionItem
is now a static method. Also we no longer need to pass the PySaxonProcessor object to the call
method.

Thanks, O'Neil, should have read the fine manual, it appears.
