This page is an exhaustive reference of the API exposed by the classad module. It is not meant to be a tutorial for new users but rather a helpful guide for those who already understand the basic usage of the module.
ClassAds are individually represented by the ClassAd class. Their attribute are key-value pairs, as in a standard Python dictionary. The keys are strings, and the values may be either Python primitives corresponding to ClassAd data types (string, bool, etc.) or ExprTree objects, which correspond to un-evaluated ClassAd expressions.
