Instance Methods

__init__(self, session, config, parent) The constructor for all Cheshire3 objects take the same arguments: session: A Session object topNode: The <config> or <subConfig> domNode for the configuration parent: The object that provides the scope for this object.
process_string(self, session, data) Process a raw string, eg from an attribute value or the query.
process_node(self, session, data) Process a DOM node.
process_eventList(self, session, data) Process a list of SAX events serialised in C3 internal format.
_mergeHash(self, a, b)
process_xpathResult(self, session, data) Process the result of an XPath expression.

Method Details

### __init__(self, session, config, parent) (Constructor) | source code
The constructor for all Cheshire3 objects take the same arguments: session: A Session object topNode: The <config> or <subConfig> domNode for the configuration parent: The object that provides the scope for this object. Overrides: configParser.C3Object.__init__ (inherited documentation)

### process_string(self, session, data) | source code
Process a raw string, eg from an attribute value or the query. Overrides: baseObjects.Extractor.process_string (inherited documentation)

### process_node(self, session, data) | source code
Process a DOM node. Overrides: baseObjects.Extractor.process_node (inherited documentation)

### process_eventList(self, session, data) | source code
Process a list of SAX events serialised in C3 internal format. Overrides: baseObjects.Extractor.process_eventList (inherited documentation)

### _mergeHash(self, a, b) | source code

### process_xpathResult(self, session, data) | source code
Process the result of an XPath expression. Convenience function to wrap the other process_* functions and do type checking. Overrides: baseObjects.Extractor.process_xpathResult (inherited documentation)
