Class ElementWrapper

        ElementWrapper

A wrapper around ElementTree Element objects whose main purpose is to provide nicer __repr__ and __str__ methods. In addition, any of the wrapped Element's methods that return other Element objects are overridden to wrap those values before returning them.

This makes Elements more convenient to work with in interactive sessions and doctests, at the expense of some efficiency.

Instance Methods [hide private]
 
__init__(self, etree)

Static Methods [hide private]
a new object with type S, a subtype of T
__new__(cls, etree)
Create and return a wrapper around a given Element object.		 source code
Properties [hide private]

Inherited from object: __class__

Method Details [hide private]

__new__(cls, etree)
Static Method

source code 

Create and return a wrapper around a given Element object. If etree is an ElementWrapper, then etree is returned as-is.

Returns: a new object with type S, a subtype of T
Overrides: object.__new__

__init__(self, etree)
(Constructor)

source code 

Initialize a new Element wrapper for etree. If etree is a string, then it will be converted to an Element object using ElementTree.fromstring() first.

Overrides: object.__init__

__repr__(self)
(Representation operator)

source code 

repr(x)

Overrides: object.__repr__
(inherited documentation)

__str__(self)
(Informal representation operator)

source code 

str(x)

Returns:
the result of applying ElementTree.tostring() to the wrapped Element object.
Overrides: object.__str__

__setattr__(self, attr, value)

source code 

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

Overrides: object.__setattr__
(inherited documentation)

__delattr__(self, attr)

source code 

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

Overrides: object.__delattr__
(inherited documentation)
