Example

    class Meta:
        extension_ns_uri = "urn:local:number-functions"
        namespaces = {"fn": extension_ns_uri,}

    even_numbers = xmlmodels.XPathIntegerListField("//num[fn:is_even(.)]")
    sqrt_numbers = xmlmodels.XPathFloatListField("fn:sqrt(//num)")

    @xmlmodels.lxml_extension
    def is_even(self, context, number_nodes):
        numbers = [getattr(n, 'text', n) for n in number_nodes]
        return all([bool(int(num) % 2 == 0) for num in numbers])

    @xmlmodels.lxml_extension
    def sqrt(self, context, number_nodes):
        sqrts = []
        for number_node in number_nodes:
            number = getattr(number_node, 'text', number_node)
