                               Classes

Provides access to an element's class attribute as a set-like collection. Usage:

    >>> el = fromstring('<p class="hidden large">Text</p>')
    >>> classes = el.classes  # or: classes = Classes(el.attrib)
    >>> classes |= ['block', 'paragraph']
    >>> el.get('class')
    'hidden large block paragraph'
    >>> classes.toggle('hidden')
    False
    >>> el.get('class')
    'large block paragraph'
    >>> classes -= ('some', 'classes', 'block')
    >>> el.get('class')
    'large paragraph'

Method Details | [hide private]

### __contains__(self, name) (In operator) | source code
Overrides: _abcoll.Container.__contains__

### __init__(self, attributes) (Constructor) | source code
x.__init__(...) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature Overrides: object.__init__ (inherited documentation)

### __iter__(self) | source code
Overrides: _abcoll.Iterable.__iter__

### __len__(self) (Length operator) | source code
Overrides: _abcoll.Sized.__len__

### add(self, value) | source code
Add a class. This has no effect if the class is already present. Overrides: _abcoll.MutableSet.add

### discard(self, value) | source code
Remove a class if it is currently present. If the class is not present, do nothing. Overrides: _abcoll.MutableSet.discard

### remove(self, value) | source code
Remove a class; it must currently be present. If the class is not present, raise a KeyError. Overrides: _abcoll.MutableSet.remove

### toggle(self, value) | source code
Add a class name if it isn't there yet, or remove it if it exists. Returns true if the class was added (and is now enabled) and false if it was removed (and is now disabled).
