Saxon » SaxonC

Luckily someone created a separate package for that saxonche-stubs (https://pypi.org/project/saxonche-stubs/#description) but it's a subset and could become outdated. Ideally, the stubs should be part of the main library distribution.

Thanks for creating this bug issue. Yes this is something we should do and is on our todo list.

That's great! Is there already a detailed schedule? The saxonche-stubs package is indeed not complete. So far, I have only implemented types that I needed myself. However, I have no objections to stopping the development if the type annotations are integrated directly into the Saxon-Python package.

We can't commit to a date or release, unfortunately. I'll be taking a look at your package with interest, but the process for generating .pyi stubs programmatically from Cython sources, rather than manually, looks like it's complex and existing tooling looks tricky to use reliably.

(If you have experience with that process, I'd love to hear about it.)

Just my 2 cents: using a LLM ?
