<p>Main XML Element class.</p>
<p>Element children are accessed as object attributes. Multiple children
with the same name are available through a list index. Example:</p>
<blockquote>
<pre class="py-doctest">
<span class="py-prompt">>>> </span>root = etree.XML(<span class="py-string">"<root><c1><c2>0</c2><c2>1</c2></c1></root>"</span>)
<span class="py-prompt">>>> </span>second_c2 = root.c1.c2[1]</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>Note that you cannot (and must not) instantiate this class or its
subclasses.</p>
