In the former question "Calculus with formal functions: substitution?", one can obtain implicit differentiation by the following code

var('f,x,y')
y = function('y',x)
f = function('f',x,y)
f.diff(x)

which gives

D1(x, y(x))*D0(x) +D0(x, y(x))

But I use the last version ofg SageMath and I have the following error

TypeError: function() takes exactly 1 positional argument (2 given)

Is there some new way to handle this code ?

It seems that you want the following:

var('x')
y = function('y')(x)
f = function('f')(x,y)
f.diff(x)

Output:

D[1](f)(x, y(x))*diff(y(x), x) + D[0](f)(x, y(x))

To amplify rbuning's answer, which is exact, you should try

function?

which should be illuminating...

Sage's online help is exceptionally useful, on par with R's, and should be used as a first recourse.

A very good primer on Sage is this book, which also exists in German, and which is the translation of a french book.

Either you have a seriously hosed system or you don't stat it the right way...

Can you describe: - your system (OS, version) - your Sage installation (how did you install sage ?) - how you start Sage (Jupyter notebook ? terminal ? (old) Sage notebook ? other ?) - what you see on the screen ?
