data in a string in memory (e.g. you have previously parsed the file or were sent the dump from <cite>mediainfo</cite> from someone else) you can call the constructor directly:</p> <div

class="p">)</span> </pre></div> </div> <p>Since the attributes on the <cite>Track</cite> objects are being dynamically added as the XML output from MediaInfo is being parsed, there isn’t a firm definition of what will be available at runtime. In order to make consuming the objects easier so that you can avoid having to use <cite>hasattr</cite> or <cite>try/except</cite> blocks, the <cite>__getattribute__</cite> method has been overriden and will just return <cite>None</cite> when and if an attribute is referenced but doesn’t exist.</p> <p>This will enable you to write consuming code like:</p> <div class="highlight-python notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">pymediainfo</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">MediaInfo</span> <span class="n">media_info</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">MediaInfo</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">parse</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">'my_video_file.mov'</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="k">for</span> <span class="n">track</span> <span class="ow">in</span> <span class="n">media_info</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">tracks</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="k">if</span> <span class="n">track</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">bit_rate</span> <span class="ow">is</span> <span class="ow">not</span> <span class="bp">None</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="k">print</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">"{}: {}"</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">format</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">track</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">track_type</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">track</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">bit_rate</span><span class="p">))</span> <span class="k">else</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="k">print</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">"""{} tracks do not have bit rate</span> <span class="s2"> associated with them."""</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">format</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">track</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">track_type</span><span class="p">))</span> </pre></div> </div> <p>Output:</p> <div class="highlight-text notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>General tracks do not have bit rate associated with them.
