t.w.microdom : module documentation

Micro Document Object Model: a partial DOM implementation with SUX.

This is an implementation of what we consider to be the useful subset of the DOM. The chief advantage of this library is that, not being burdened with standards compliance, it can remain very stable between versions. We can also implement utility 'pythonic' ways to access and mutate the XML tree.

Since this has not subjected to a serious trial by fire, it is not recommended to use this outside of Twisted applications. However, it seems to work just fine for the documentation generator, which parses a fairly representative sample of XML.

Microdom mainly focuses on working with HTML and XHTML.

def getElementsByTagName(iNode, name): (source)

Return a list of all child elements of iNode with a name matching name.

Note that this implementation does not conform to the DOM Level 1 Core specification because it may return iNode.

Parameters	iNode	An element at which to begin searching. If `iNode` has a name matching `name`, it will be included in the result.
	name	A `str` giving the name of the elements to return.
Returns	A `list` of direct or indirect child elements of `iNode` with the name `name`. This may include `iNode`.
