cssselect(self, expr, translator='html')

source code 

Run the CSS expression on this element and its children, returning a list of the results.

Equivalent to lxml.cssselect.CSSSelect(expr, translator='html')(self) -- note that pre-compiling the expression can provide a substantial speedup.

Overrides: HtmlMixin.cssselect

set(self, key, value=None)

source code 
Sets an element attribute. If no value is provided, or if the value is None, creates a 'boolean' attribute without value, e.g. "<form novalidate></form>" for form.set('novalidate').
Overrides: HtmlMixin.set
