Detailed Description

The PySide.QtXml.QXmlAttributes class provides XML attributes.

If attributes are reported by QXmlContentHandler.startElement() this class is used to pass the attribute values.

Use PySide.QtXml.QXmlAttributes.index() to locate the position of an attribute in the list, PySide.QtXml.QXmlAttributes.count() to retrieve the number of attributes, and PySide.QtXml.QXmlAttributes.clear() to remove the attributes. New attributes can be added with PySide.QtXml.QXmlAttributes.append() . Use PySide.QtXml.QXmlAttributes.type() to get an attribute’s type and PySide.QtXml.QXmlAttributes.value() to get its value. The attribute’s name is available from PySide.QtXml.QXmlAttributes.localName() or PySide.QtXml.QXmlAttributes.qName() , and its namespace URI from PySide.QtXml.QXmlAttributes.uri() .

class PySide.QtXml.QXmlAttributes
class PySide.QtXml.QXmlAttributes(QXmlAttributes)
Parameters:QXmlAttributesPySide.QtXml.QXmlAttributes

Constructs an empty attribute list.

PySide.QtXml.QXmlAttributes.append(qName, uri, localPart, value)
Parameters:
  • qName – unicode
  • uri – unicode
  • localPart – unicode
  • value – unicode

Appends a new attribute entry to the list of attributes. The qualified name of the attribute is qName , the namespace URI is uri and the local name is localPart . The value of the attribute is value .

PySide.QtXml.QXmlAttributes.clear()

Clears the list of attributes.

PySide.QtXml.QXmlAttributes.count()
Return type:PySide.QtCore.int

Returns the number of attributes in the list. This function is equivalent to PySide.QtXml.QXmlAttributes.length() .

PySide.QtXml.QXmlAttributes.index(qName)
Parameters:qName – unicode
Return type:PySide.QtCore.int

Looks up the index of an attribute by the qualified name qName .

Returns the index of the attribute or -1 if it wasn’t found.

PySide.QtXml.QXmlAttributes.index(uri, localPart)
Parameters:
  • uri – unicode
  • localPart – unicode
Return type:

PySide.QtCore.int

This is an overloaded function.

Looks up the index of an attribute by a namespace name.

uri specifies the namespace URI, or an empty string if the name has no namespace URI. localPart specifies the attribute’s local name.

Returns the index of the attribute, or -1 if it wasn’t found.

PySide.QtXml.QXmlAttributes.length()
Return type:PySide.QtCore.int

Returns the number of attributes in the list.

PySide.QtXml.QXmlAttributes.localName(index)
Parameters:indexPySide.QtCore.int
Return type:unicode

Looks up an attribute’s local name for the attribute at position index . If no namespace processing is done, the local name is an empty string.

PySide.QtXml.QXmlAttributes.type(index)
Parameters:indexPySide.QtCore.int
Return type:unicode

Looks up an attribute’s type for the attribute at position index .

Currently only “CDATA” is returned.

PySide.QtXml.QXmlAttributes.type(uri, localName)
Parameters:
  • uri – unicode
  • localName – unicode
Return type:

unicode

This is an overloaded function.

Looks up an attribute’s type by namespace name.

uri specifies the namespace URI and localName specifies the local name. If the name has no namespace URI, use an empty string for uri .

Currently only “CDATA” is returned.

Parameters:qName – unicode
Return type:unicode

This is an overloaded function.

Looks up an attribute’s type for the qualified name qName .

Currently only “CDATA” is returned.

PySide.QtXml.QXmlAttributes.uri(index)
Parameters:indexPySide.QtCore.int
Return type:unicode

Looks up an attribute’s namespace URI for the attribute at position index . If no namespace processing is done or if the attribute has no namespace, the namespace URI is an empty string.

PySide.QtXml.QXmlAttributes.value(uri, localName)
Parameters:
  • uri – unicode
  • localName – unicode
Return type:

unicode

This is an overloaded function.

Returns an attribute’s value by namespace name.

uri specifies the namespace URI, or an empty string if the name has no namespace URI. localName specifies the attribute’s local name.

PySide.QtXml.QXmlAttributes.value(index)
Parameters:indexPySide.QtCore.int
Return type:unicode

Returns an attribute’s value for the attribute at position index . The index must be a valid position (i.e., 0 <= index < PySide.QtXml.QXmlAttributes.count() ).
