Method Details

### __call__(...) (Call operator) |
Follow the attribute path in the object structure and return the target attribute value. If it it not found, either returns a default value (if one was passed as second argument) or raises AttributeError.

### __init__(path) (Constructor) |
x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature Overrides: object.__init__

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

### __str__(...) (Informal representation operator) |
str(x) Overrides: object.__str__ (inherited documentation)

### addattr(self, root, value) |
Append a value to the target element in a subtree. If any of the children on the path does not exist, it is created.

### setattr(self, root, value) |
Set the value of the target element in a subtree. If any of the children on the path does not exist, it is created.
