trouble building user defined agg function with plpython - Mailing list pgsql-general

I'm trying to test out a user defined aggregation function. The problem I'm
getting is that the state is never passed to the function after the first
call. I'm wondering if this is an issue with having my function defined as
a pypython function or something.

Each call I get an UnboundLocalError exception. I can try/catch it and set
a default value for the state, but then it's triggered on every invocation
during execution.

A small demo function:

CREATE TYPE group_data AS (
    id          integer,
    weight      decimal
);

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION mysum(curr integer, vals group_data)
 RETURNS integer
 AS $$

    try:
        curr = curr + vals['weight']
    except UnboundLocalError:
        plpy.notice("UNBOUND")
        curr = 0

    return curr

 $$ LANGUAGE plpythonu;

CREATE AGGREGATE mysumagg (group_data)
(
    sfunc = mysum,
    stype = integer
);


I get the following when testing it:

-- SELECT
--        mysumagg(ROW(res.idx, 1)::group_data)
-- FROM (
--         SELECT r."D6" as idx
--         FROM t_fct_respondent r
--         LIMIT 2
--      ) AS res;

-- NOTICE:  UNBOUND
--          CONTEXT:  PL/Python function "mysum"
-- NOTICE:  UNBOUND
--          CONTEXT:  PL/Python function "mysum"
 mysumagg
----------
        0
(1 row)


Thanks for any pointers on what I'm missing from the way to handle the
agggregate definition.
