QName(text_or_uri, tag=None)

QName wrapper.

Pass a tag name by itself or a namespace URI and a tag name to create a qualified name. The `text` property holds the qualified name in `{namespace}tagname` notation.

You can pass QName objects wherever a tag name is expected. Also, setting Element text from a QName will resolve the namespace prefix and set a qualified text value.
