Method Details | [hide private]

### __new__(T, S, ...) |
Returns: a new object with type S, a subtype of T Overrides: object.__new__

### __repr__(x) (Representation operator) |
repr(x) Overrides: object.__repr__

### get(self, key, default=None) |
Try to parse pseudo-attributes from the text content of the processing instruction, search for one with the given key as name and return its associated value. Note that this is only a convenience method for the most common case that all text content is structured in attribute-like name-value pairs with properly quoted values. It is not guaranteed to work for all possible text content. Overrides: _Element.get
