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: object.__delattr__

delitem(x, y)
(Index deletion operator)

del x[y]

Overrides: etree._Element.__delitem__

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

del x[i:j]

Use of negative indices is not supported.

Overrides: etree._Element.__delslice__

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.

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

* If argument is a string, does the same as getattr().  This is used
  to provide namespaces for element lookup.

Overrides: etree._Element.__getitem__

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

x[i:j]

Use of negative indices is not supported.

Overrides: etree._Element.__getslice__

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__

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

x[i:j]=y

Use of negative indices is not supported.

Overrides: etree._Element.__setslice__

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)
