Hi Achim,
this list is meant for discussing the development of PostgreSQL, in the
future you might want to ask your question on pgsql-general.

Yes, it's a missing feature of PL/Python, but in your case you could
work around it by writing your function like this:
create or replace function vectormatch(docid integer[], conceptid
integer[], rank float4[]) returns table(docid integer, weigth float4)
as $$ data = zip(docid, conceptid, rank) plpy.notice(data) ...
$$ language plpythonu;
and then calling it like this:
select vectormatch(array_agg(docid), array_agg(conceptid),
array_agg(rank)) from fps where docid = 4205591;
Cheers,
