Class Hierarchy

• object: The most base type
  • exceptions.BaseException: Common base class for all exceptions
    • exceptions.Exception: Common base class for all non-exit exceptions.
      • simplexmlapi.node.AttributeParsingError: An invalid attribute type was specified.
      • simplexmlapi.node.NoSuchAttribute: No attribute is accessible via the dotted name given.
      • simplexmlapi.node.NoSuchNode: No node is accessible via the dotted name given.
      • exceptions.StandardError: Base class for all standard Python exceptions that do not represent interpreter exiting.
        • exceptions.AssertionError: Assertion failed.
  • simplexmlapi.node.DotNode: An object whose getattr gets child nodes.
  • simplexmlapi.node.DotXMLDoc: Accepts the source of an XML document, parses it, and provides dotted name access to the root node.
  • simplexmlapi.api.SimpleXmlApi: The main API class, comprising a map of attributes to dotted path names.
  • unittest.TestCase: A class whose instances are single test cases.
    • simplexmlapi.tests.test_api.TestAPI
    • simplexmlapi.tests.test_dotnode.TestDotNodes
  • basestring: Type basestring cannot be instantiated; it is the base for str and unicode.
    • str: str(object) -> string
      • simplexmlapi.node.DotNodeAttribute: A string with a getValue method.
  • list: list() -> new list list(sequence) -> new list initialized from sequence's items
    • xml.dom.minicompat.NodeList
      • simplexmlapi.node.DotNodeList: A NodeList that asks its first child for attributes.
  • type: type(object) -> the object's type type(name, bases, dict) -> a new type
    • simplexmlapi.node.DotNodeParent: Metaclass that makes sure everything in the sequence passed to the constructor is a DotNode.
