<!-- ==================== CLASS DESCRIPTION ==================== -->
<h1 class="epydoc">Class ExpandedName</h1><p class="nomargin-top"><span class="codelink"><a href="pyxb.namespace-pysrc.html#ExpandedName">source code</a></span></p>
<pre class="base-tree">
object --+

<a href="pyxb.cscRoot-class.html">cscRoot</a> --+

<strong class="uidshort">ExpandedName</strong>
</pre>
<hr />
<p>Represent an <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/#dt-expname"
target="_top">expanded name</a>, which pairs a namespace with a local
name.</p>
<p>Because a large number of local elements, and most attributes, have no
namespace associated with them, this is optimized for representing names
with an absent namespace. The hash and equality test methods are set so
that a plain string is equivalent to a tuple of <code>None</code> and
that string.</p>
<p>Note that absent namespaces can be represented in two ways: with a
namespace of <code>None</code> (the name "has no namespace"),
and with a namespace that is an <a
href="pyxb.namespace.Namespace-class.html#CreateAbsentNamespace"
class="link">absent namespace</a> (the name "has an absent
namespace"). Hash code calculations are done so that the two
alternatives produce the same hash; however, comparison is done so that
the two are distinguished. The latter is the intended behavior; the
former should not be counted upon.</p>
<p>This class allows direct lookup of the named object within a category
by using the category name as an accessor function. That is, if the
namespace of the expanded name <code>en</code> has a category
'typeDefinition', then the following two expressions are equivalent:</p>
<pre class="literalblock">
en.typeDefinition()
en.namespace().categoryMap('typeDefinition').get(en.localName())
</pre>
<p>This class descends from <code>tuple</code> so that its values can be
used as dictionary keys without concern for pointer equivalence.</p>
