                    QName

A qualified element or attribute name.

The unicode value of instances of this class contains the qualified name of the element or attribute, in the form `{namespace-uri}local-name`. The namespace URI can be obtained through the additional namespace attribute, while the local name can be accessed through the localname attribute.

    >>> qname = QName('foo')
    >>> qname
    QName(u'foo')
    >>> qname.localname
    u'foo'
    >>> qname.namespace

    >>> qname = QName('http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml}body')
    >>> qname
    QName(u'http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml}body')
    >>> qname.localname
    u'body'
    >>> qname.namespace
    u'http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'
