  Problem is that those extension functions need to return nodesets
and I didn't yet finished that part in the Python bindings. I will try to
get this in the next release.
  But since the final goal is to have them directly part of the C
implementation getting the Java existing code for the couple of implementations
you did already could allow to avoid a round-trip. Where are they ? 
What are the most critical extensions ?
