Utilities for the ElementTree standard library package.

util - Various utilities

ElemenTree related utility classes and functions.

Requires at least Python 2.6. Simple import breaks on Python 2.5

class ContainerElementMixin(parent, root_tag, namespace='')

__init__(parent, root_tag, namespace='')

x.__init__(…) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature

__len__()

class MappingElement(parent, root_tag, namespace='')

__abstractmethods__ = frozenset([])

__delitem__(key)

__getitem__(key)

__init__(parent, root_tag, namespace='')

x.__init__(…) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature

__iter__()

__setitem__(key, value)

class MappingElementIterator(element)

__abstractmethods__ = frozenset([])

__init__(element)

x.__init__(…) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature

next()

Return the next item from the iterator. When exhausted, raise StopIteration

class Namespace(url='', element=None)

Represents an XML namespace and provides several utility functions that help handle a document without namespace tags.

Element(tag, attrib={}, **extra)

SubElement(parent, tag, attrib={}, **extra)

__init__(url='', element=None)

x.__init__(…) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature

find(element, tag)

findall(element, tag)

findtext(element, tag, default=None)

get_tag(element)

class QName(tag)

Represents a qualified name

__init__(tag)

x.__init__(…) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature

__str__() <==> str(x)

text

class SequenceElement(parent, root_tag, element_tag, namespace='', indent=' ')

__abstractmethods__ = frozenset([])

__delitem__(index)

__getitem__(index)

__init__(parent, root_tag, element_tag, namespace='', indent=' ')

x.__init__(…) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature

__setitem__(index, value)

insert(index, value)

S.insert(index, object) – insert object before index

class Writer(root_tag, attributes=None, tab_size=0)

__init__(root_tag, attributes=None, tab_size=0)

x.__init__(…) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature

marshal(node)

write(node, where)

make_property(elem, key=None)

Creates a property on the text of element ‘elem’ or, if the ‘key’ argument is given, on its ‘key’ attribute.
