Are the changes that are in https://dev.saxonica.com/repos/archive/opensource/latest9.9/hec/Saxon.C.API/python-saxon/saxonc.pyx the final changes and are tested?

When I use that file I run into cython errors:

Error compiling Cython file:
------------------------------------------------------------
...

        """
        cdef PyXdmValue val = None
        cdef PyXdmAtomicValue aval = None
        cdef PyXdmNode nval = None
        cdef PyXdmItem val = None // remove PyXdmItem()
                                           ^
------------------------------------------------------------

saxonc.pyx:3348:44: Syntax error in C variable declaration

If I try to fix that error by using cdef PyXdmItem val = None # remove PyXdmItem() I run into another error:

Error compiling Cython file:
------------------------------------------------------------

        cdef saxoncClasses.XdmItem * xdmItem = NULL
        xdmItem = self.thisvptr.itemAt(index)
        if xdmItem == NULL:
            return None
        else :
            cdef type_ = xdmItem.getType()
                ^
