PySaxonProcessor¶

class PySaxonProcessor¶

Bases: object

Acts as a factory for generating XQuery, XPath, Schema and XSLT compilers.

This class is itself the context that needs to be managed (i.e. allocation & release)

Example

Creating an XSLT processor and an atomic value:

from saxoncee import *
with PySaxonProcessor(license=False) as proc:
    print("Test SaxonC on Python")
    print(proc.version)
    xdmAtomicval = proc.make_boolean_value(False)
    xslt30proc = proc.new_xslt30_processor()

__enter__()¶: enter method for use with the keyword ‘with’ context Deprecated. This may be removed in a later release.

__exit__(exception_type, exception_value, traceback)¶: Deprecated. This method no longer does anything, and may be removed in a later release.

classmethod __new__(*args, **kwargs)¶

__pyx_vtable__ = <capsule object NULL>¶

__reduce__()¶: Helper for pickle.

__setstate__()¶

attach_current_thread¶

clark_name_to_eqname(name, encoding=None)¶

Convert clark name string to EQName notation; i.e. the expanded name.

Uses the notation defined by the EQName production in XPath 3.0. If the name is in a namespace, the resulting string takes the form Q{uri}local. Otherwise, the value is the local part of the name.

Parameters:

name (str) – The URI in Clark notation: {uri}local if the name is in a namespace, or simply local if not.
encoding (str) – The encoding of the string. If not specified then the platform default encoding is used.

Returns:

the expanded name, as a string using the notation defined by the EQName production: in XPath 3.0.

Return type:

str

clear_configuration_properties(self)¶: Clear the configuration properties in use by the processor

cwd¶: Property represents the current working directory

detach_current_thread¶

edition¶

Property to get the short name of the licensed Saxon product edition.

empty_sequence()¶

Returns a PyXdmValue representing the empty sequence

Returns:: the empty sequence
Return type:: PyXdmValue

eqname_to_clark_name(name, encoding=None)¶

Convert EQName string to clark name notation.

Parameters:

name (str) – The URI in EQName notation: Q{uri}local if the name is in a namespace. For a name in no namespace, either of the forms Q{}local or simply local are accepted.
encoding (str) – The encoding of the string. If not specified then the platform default encoding is used.

Returns:

the URI in clark notation

Return type:

str

get_string_value(item)¶

Make a PyXdmMap from a dict of XDM values

Make a PyXdmMap from a dict type whose entries are key-value pairs of type (PyXdmAtomicValue, PyXdmValue). The factory method create_xdm_dict(proc, mmap) can be used to create pairs of type (PyXdmAtomicValue, PyXdmValue) from primitive types, which can then be used as input to this function make_map.
