Public bug reported:
If I specify a namespace with a prefix, a custom function works fine:
from lxml import etree
_function_ns = etree.FunctionNamespace('http://example.com')
_function_ns.prefix = 'a'
def _dummy_count(arg):
return 10
_function_ns['count'] = _dummy_count
_xml = etree.Element('structure')
print _xml.xpath('a:count()')
Output is '10.0'.
But if I add the function to the default namespace, I've got an error:
from lxml import etree
_function_ns = etree.FunctionNamespace(None)
def _dummy_count(arg):
return 10
_function_ns['count'] = _dummy_count
_xml = etree.Element('structure')
print _xml.xpath('count()')
Output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/user/Desktop/function-namespace.py", line 7, in <module>
print _xml.xpath('count()')
File "src/lxml/etree.pyx", line 1575, in lxml.etree._Element.xpath

lxml.etree.XPathElementEvaluator.__call__
File "src/lxml/xpath.pxi", line 227, in
lxml.etree._XPathEvaluatorBase._handle_result
lxml.etree.XPathEvalError: Invalid number of arguments
Seems it doesn't recognise my 'count(arg)' function and use standard
'count(...)' instead.
It works fine with custom functions that are not conflicting with
standard functions, but how can I specify a custom function with one of
the standard functions name?
