Undocumented

Method astext Return a string representation of this Node.

Inherited from TextElement:

Method __init__ Undocumented
Class Variable child​_text​_separator Separator for child nodes, used by astext() method.

Inherited from Element (via TextElement):

Class Method is​_not​_known​_attribute Returns True if and only if the given attribute is NOT recognized by this class.
Class Method is​_not​_list​_attribute Returns True if and only if the given attribute is NOT one of the basic list attributes defined for all Elements.
Method __add__ Undocumented
Method __contains__ Undocumented
Method __delitem__ Undocumented
Method __getitem__ Undocumented
Method __iadd__ Append a node or a list of nodes to self.children.
Method __len__ Undocumented
Method __radd__ Undocumented
Method __repr__ Undocumented
Method __setitem__ Undocumented
Method __unicode__ Undocumented
Method append Undocumented
Method append​_attr​_list For each element in values, if it does not exist in self[attr], append it.
Method attlist Undocumented
Method clear Undocumented
Method coerce​_append​_attr​_list First, convert both self[attr] and value to a non-string sequence type; if either is not already a sequence, convert it to a list of one element. Then call append_attr_list.
Method copy Return a copy of self.
Method copy​_attr​_coerce No summary
Method copy​_attr​_concatenate No summary
Method copy​_attr​_consistent If replace is True or self[attr] is None, replace self[attr] with value. Otherwise, do nothing.
Method copy​_attr​_convert If attr is an attribute of self, set self[attr] to [self[attr], value], otherwise set self[attr] to value.
Method deepcopy Return a deep copy of self (also copying children).
Method delattr Undocumented
Method emptytag Undocumented
Method endtag Undocumented
Method extend Undocumented
Method first​_child​_matching​_class Return the index of the first child whose class exactly matches.
Method first​_child​_not​_matching​_class Return the index of the first child whose class does not match.
Method get Undocumented
Method get​_language​_code Return node's language tag.
Method hasattr Undocumented
Method index Undocumented
Method insert Undocumented
Method is​_not​_default Undocumented
Method non​_default​_attributes Undocumented
Method note​_referenced​_by Note that this Element has been referenced by its name name or id id.
Method pformat Return an indented pseudo-XML representation, for test purposes.
Method pop Undocumented
Method remove Undocumented
Method replace Replace one child Node with another child or children.
Method replace​_attr If self[attr] does not exist or force is True or omitted, set self[attr] to value, otherwise do nothing.
Method replace​_self Replace self node with new, where new is a node or a list of nodes.
Method set​_class Add a new class to the "classes" attribute.
Method setdefault Undocumented
Method shortrepr Undocumented
Method starttag Undocumented
Method update​_all​_atts Updates all attributes from node or dictionary dict_.
Method update​_all​_atts​_coercion Updates all attributes from node or dictionary dict_.
Method update​_all​_atts​_concatenating Updates all attributes from node or dictionary dict_.
Method update​_all​_atts​_consistantly Updates all attributes from node or dictionary dict_.
Method update​_all​_atts​_convert Updates all attributes from node or dictionary dict_.
Method update​_basic​_atts Update basic attributes ('ids', 'names', 'classes', 'dupnames', but not 'source') from node or dictionary dict_.
Class Variable basic​_attributes Tuple of attributes which are defined for every Element-derived class instance and can be safely transferred to a different node.
Class Variable known​_attributes Tuple of attributes that are known to the Element base class.
Class Variable list​_attributes Tuple of attributes that are automatically initialized to empty lists for all nodes.
Class Variable local​_attributes Tuple of class-specific attributes that should not be copied with the standard attributes when replacing a node.
Instance Variable attributes Dictionary of attribute {name: value}.
Instance Variable children List of child nodes (elements and/or Text).
Instance Variable rawsource The raw text from which this element was constructed.
Instance Variable referenced Undocumented
Instance Variable tagname The element generic identifier. If None, it is set as an instance attribute to the name of the class.
Method ​_dom​_node Undocumented

Inherited from Node (via TextElement, Element):

Method __bool__ Node instances are always true, even if they're empty. A node is more than a simple container. Its boolean "truth" does not depend on having one or more subnodes in the doctree.
Method __str__ Undocumented
Method asdom Return a DOM fragment representation of this Node.
Method document.setter Undocumented
Method findall Return an iterator yielding nodes following self:
Method next​_node Return the first node in the iterator returned by findall(), or None if the iterable is empty.
Method previous​_sibling Return preceding sibling node or None.
Method setup​_child Undocumented
Method traverse Return list of nodes following self.
Method walk No summary
Method walkabout Perform a tree traversal similarly to Node.walk() (which see), except also call the dispatch_departure() method before exiting each node.
Class Variable line The line number (1-based) of the beginning of this Node in source.
Class Variable parent Back-reference to the Node immediately containing this Node.
Class Variable source Path or description of the input source which generated this Node.
Property document Return the document node at the root of the tree containing this Node.
Method ​_fast​_findall Return iterator that only supports instance checks.
Method ​_superfast​_findall Return iterator that doesn't check for a condition.
Instance Variable ​_document Undocumented
def astext(self):
Return a string representation of this Node.
