Main XML Element class.

Element children are accessed as object attributes. Multiple children with the same name are available through a list index. Example:

    >>> root = etree.XML("<root><c1><c2>0</c2><c2>1</c2></c1></root>")
    >>> second_c2 = root.c1.c2[1]

Method Details | [hide private]

### __delattr__(...) |
x.__delattr__('name') <==> del x.name Overrides: object.__delattr__

### __delitem__(x, y) (Index deletion operator) |
del x[y] Overrides: etree._Element.__delitem__

### __getattr__(...) (Qualification operator) |
Return the (first) child with the given tag name. If no namespace is provided, the child will be looked up in the same one as self.

### __getattribute__(...) |
x.__getattribute__('name') <==> x.name Overrides: object.__getattribute__

### __getitem__(...) (Indexing operator) |
    Return a sibling, counting from the first child of the parent.  The
    method behaves like both a dict and a sequence.

    * If argument is an integer, returns the sibling at that position.

    * If argument is a string, does the same as getattr().  This can be
      used to provide namespaces for element lookup, or to look up
      children with special names (``text`` etc.).

    * If argument is a slice object, returns the matching slice.
Overrides: etree._Element.__getitem__

### __iter__(...) |
Iterate over self and all siblings with the same tag. Overrides: etree._Element.__iter__

### __len__(x) (Length operator) |
len(x) Overrides: etree._Element.__len__

### __new__(T, S, ...) |
  Returns:
      a new object with type S, a subtype of T
Overrides: etree.ElementBase.__new__

### __setattr__(...) |
x.__setattr__('name', value) <==> x.name = value Overrides: object.__setattr__

### __setitem__(x, i, y) (Index assignment operator) |
x[i]=y Overrides: etree._Element.__setitem__

### __str__(...) (Informal representation operator) |
str(x) Overrides: object.__str__ (inherited documentation)

### addattr(...) |
Add a child value to the element. As opposed to append(), it sets a data value, not an element.

### find(...) |
Finds the first matching subelement, by tag name or path. Overrides: etree._Element.find (inherited documentation)

### findall(...) |
Finds all matching subelements, by tag name or path. Overrides: etree._Element.findall (inherited documentation)

### findtext(...) |
Finds text for the first matching subelement, by tag name or path. Overrides: etree._Element.findtext (inherited documentation)

### getchildren(...) |
Returns a sequence of all direct children. The elements are returned in document order. Overrides: etree._Element.getchildren

### iterfind(...) |
Iterates over all matching subelements, by tag name or path. Overrides: etree._Element.iterfind (inherited documentation)
