axl.AttrCursor — PyAxlAttrCursor class: xml node attributes iterator

Intro

axl.AttrCursor class represents an iterator cursor that maintains state of the current element selected. It is created using a node (axl.Node) and later calls to axl.AttrCursor.next() and axl.AttrCursor.has_item() are used to check all attributes stored on a node:

# get node
node   = doc.get ("/document/child")

# create the cursor
cursor = node.attr_cursor_new ()
while cursor.has_item ():
      # print content
      print ("found attribute: " + cursor.key + "=" + cursor.value)

      # next item
      cursor.next ()
