        • lxml.tests.dummy_http_server.WebServer: A web server that starts a new thread for each request.
• xml.sax.handler.ContentHandler: Interface for receiving logical document content events.

• doctest.OutputChecker: A class used to check the whether the actual output from a doctest example matches the expected output. OutputChecker defines two methods: check_output, which compares a given pair of outputs, and returns true if they match; and output_difference, which returns a string describing the differences between two outputs.
  • lxml.doctestcompare.LXMLOutputChecker
    • lxml.doctestcompare.LHTMLOutputChecker
• difflib.SequenceMatcher: SequenceMatcher is a flexible class for comparing pairs of sequences of any type, so long as the sequence elements are hashable. The basic algorithm predates, and is a little fancier than, an algorithm published in the late 1980's by Ratcliff and Obershelp under the hyperbolic name "gestalt pattern matching". The basic idea is to find the longest contiguous matching subsequence that contains no "junk" elements (R-O doesn't address junk). The same idea is then applied recursively to the pieces of the sequences to the left and to the right of the matching subsequence. This does not yield minimal edit sequences, but does tend to yield matches that "look right" to people.

    • str: str(object='') -> string
      • lxml.etree._ElementStringResult
      • lxml.html.diff.token: Represents a diffable token, generally a word that is displayed to the user. Opening tags are attached to this token when they are adjacent (pre_tags) and closing tags that follow the word (post_tags). Some exceptions occur when there are empty tags adjacent to a word, so there may be close tags in pre_tags, or open tags in post_tags.
        • lxml.html.diff.href_token: Represents the href in an anchor tag. Unlike other words, we only show the href when it changes.
        • lxml.html.diff.tag_token: Represents a token that is actually a tag. Currently this is just the <img> tag, which takes up visible space just like a word but is only represented in a document by a tag.
    • unicode: unicode(object='') -> unicode object unicode(string[, encoding[, errors]]) -> unicode object
      • lxml.etree._ElementUnicodeResult
      • lxml.html.diff.token: Represents a diffable token, generally a word that is displayed to the user.

  • lxml.etree.iterparse: iterparse(self, source, events=("end",), tag=None, attribute_defaults=False, dtd_validation=False, load_dtd=False, no_network=True, remove_blank_text=False, remove_comments=False, remove_pis=False, encoding=None, html=False, recover=None, huge_tree=False, schema=None)
  • lxml.etree.iterwalk: iterwalk(self, element_or_tree, events=("end",), tag=None)
  • list: list() -> new empty list list(iterable) -> new list initialized from iterable's items
    • lxml.html.CheckboxGroup: Represents a group of checkboxes (<input type=checkbox>) that have the same name.
    • lxml.html.RadioGroup: This object represents several <input type=radio> elements that have the same name.
  • type: type(object) -> the object's type type(name, bases, dict) -> a new type
    • abc.ABCMeta: Metaclass for defining Abstract Base Classes (ABCs).
  • lxml.etree.xmlfile: xmlfile(self, output_file, encoding=None, compression=None)
