# PyQuery: a jQuery-like library for Python

PyQuery allows you to make [jQuery](http://jquery.com)-style CSS-selector queries on XML/HTML

documents. The API is intended to match [jQuery's API](http://api.jquery.com) whenever possible,

though it has been made more Pythonic where appropriate.

This [project](https://github.com/dsc/pyquery) is a fork of the [original](http://www.bitbucket.org/olauzanne/pyquery) 

PyQuery developed by Olivier Lauzanne in 2008; it is maintained by [David Schoonover](mailto:[email protected]). Feedback and bug

reports are both very welcome over on [github](https://github.com/dsc/pyquery/issues).

## Quickstart

You can use the PyQuery class to load an xml document from a string, a lxml

document, from a file or from an url:

    >>> from pyquery import PyQuery as pq

    >>> from lxml import etree

    >>> import urllib

    >>> d = pq("")

    >>> d = pq(etree.fromstring(""))

    >>> d = pq(url='http://google.com/')

    >>> # d = pq(url='http://google.com/', opener=lambda url: urllib.urlopen(url).read())

    >>> d = pq(filename=path_to_html_file)

Now `d` is like the `$` object in jQuery:

    >>> d("#hello")

    [
]

    >>> p = d("#hello")

    >>> print(p.html())

    Hello world !

    >>> p.html("you know Python rocks")

    [
]

    >>> print(p.html())

    you know Python rocks

    >>> print(p.text())

    you know Python rocks

You can use some of the pseudo classes that are available in jQuery but that

are not standard in css such as `:first`, `:last`, `:even`, `:odd`, `:eq`, 

`:lt`, `:gt`, `:checked`, `:selected`, and `:file`.

    >>> d('p:first')

    [
]

##  Notes

 * PyQuery uses lxml for fast XML and HTML manipulation.

 * This is not a library to produce or interact with JavaScript code. If

that's what you need, check out
