<p>Usage of the DOM interface in Python is straight-forward. The following mapping rules apply:</p> <ul class="simple"> <li>Interfaces are accessed through instance objects. Applications should not instantiate the classes themselves; they should use the creator functions available on the <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Document</span></code> object. Derived interfaces support all operations (and attributes) from the base interfaces, plus any new operations.</li> <li>Operations are used as methods. Since the DOM uses only <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/expressions.html#in"><code class="xref std std-keyword docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">in</span></code></a> parameters, the arguments are passed in normal order (from left to right). There are no optional arguments. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">void</span></code> operations return <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">None</span></code>.</li> <li>IDL attributes map to instance attributes. For compatibility with the OMG IDL language mapping for Python, an attribute <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">foo</span></code> can also be accessed through accessor methods <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">_get_foo()</span></code> and <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">_set_foo()</span></code>. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">readonly</span></code> attributes must not be changed; this is not enforced at runtime.</li> <li>The types <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">short</span> <span class="pre">int</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">unsigned</span> <span class="pre">int</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">unsigned</span> <span class="pre">long</span> <span class="pre">long</span></code>, and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">boolean</span></code> all map to Python integer objects.</li> <li>The type <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">DOMString</span></code> maps to Python strings. <a class="reference internal" href="#module-xml.dom.minidom" title="xml.dom.minidom: Minimal Document Object Model (DOM) implementation."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">xml.dom.minidom</span></code></a> supports either bytes or strings, but will normally produce strings.
