Known Subclasses:: ObjectifiedDataElement

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

delattr(...)

x.__delattr__('name') <==> del x.name

Overrides:: __builtin__.object.__delattr__

delitem(x, y)
(Index deletion operator)

x.__delitem__(y) <==> del x[y]

Returns:

del x[y]

Overrides:: lxml.etree._Element.__delitem__

delslice(x, i, j)
(Slice deletion operator)

Use of negative indices is not supported.

Returns:

del x[i:j]

Overrides:: lxml.etree._Element.__delslice__

getattribute(...)

x.__getattribute__('name') <==> x.name

Overrides:: __builtin__.object.__getattribute__

getitem(x, y)
(Indexing operator)

x.__getitem__(y) <==> x[y]

Returns:

x[y]

Overrides:: lxml.etree._Element.__getitem__

getslice(x, i, j)
(Slicling operator)

Use of negative indices is not supported.

Returns:

x[i:j]

Overrides:: lxml.etree._Element.__getslice__

iter(x)

x.__iter__() <==> iter(x)

Returns:

iter(x)

Overrides:: lxml.etree._Element.__iter__

len(x)
(Length operator)

x.__len__() <==> len(x)

Returns:

len(x)

Overrides:: lxml.etree._Element.__len__

new(T, S, ...)

T.__new__(S, ...) -> a new object with type S, a subtype of T

Returns:

a new object with type S, a subtype of T

Overrides:: lxml.etree.ElementBase.__new__

setattr(...)

x.__setattr__('name', value) <==> x.name = value

Overrides:: __builtin__.object.__setattr__

setitem(x, i, y)
(Index assignment operator)

x.__setitem__(i, y) <==> x[i]=y

Returns:

x[i]=y

Overrides:: lxml.etree._Element.__setitem__

setslice(x, i, j, y)
(Slice assignment operator)

Use of negative indices is not supported.

Returns:

x[i:j]=y

Overrides:: lxml.etree._Element.__setslice__

str(x)
(Informal representation operator)

x.__str__() <==> str(x)

Returns:

str(x)

Overrides:: __builtin__.object.__str__

addattr(...)

Add a child value to the element.

As opposed to append(), it sets a data value, not an element.

countchildren(...)

Return the number of children of this element, regardless of their name.

descendantpaths(...)

Returns a list of object path expressions for all descendants.
