 XPath

Known Subclasses:

XPath(self, path, namespaces=None, extensions=None, regexp=True, smart_strings=True) A compiled XPath expression that can be called on Elements and ElementTrees.

Besides the XPath expression, you can pass prefix-namespace mappings and extension functions to the constructor through the keyword arguments namespaces and extensions. EXSLT regular expression support can be disabled with the 'regexp' boolean keyword (defaults to True). Smart strings will be returned for string results unless you pass smart_strings=False.
