        class Variable(_docspec.Variable, ApiObject): (source)
Known subclasses: pydocspec.Variable
Represents a variable assignment.
| Method | __init__ | 
    Undocumented | 
| Instance Variable | datatype |

| Instance Variable | value |

| Class Variable | _spec | 
    Undocumented | 
              Inherited from Variable:
            
| Instance Variable | datatype | 
    The datatype associated with the assignment as code. | 
| Instance Variable | modifiers | 
    A list of language-specific modifiers that were used to declare this #Variable object. | 
| Instance Variable | semantic | 
    A list of hints that express semantics of this #Variable object which are not otherwise derivable from the context. | 
| Instance Variable | value | 
    The value of the variable as code. | 
              Inherited from ApiObject (via Variable, Inheritable):
            
| Method | sync | 
    Synchronize the hierarchy of this API object and all of it's children. This should be called when the #HasMembers.members are updated to ensure that all child objects reference the right #parent. Loaders are expected to return #ApiObject#s in a fully synchronized state such that the user does not have to call this method unless they are doing modifications to the tree. | 
| Instance Variable | docstring | 
    The documentation string of the API object. | 
| Instance Variable | location | 
    The location of the API object, i.e. where it is sourced from/defined in the code. | 
| Instance Variable | name | 
    The name of the entity. This is usually relative to the respective parent of the entity, as opposed to it's fully qualified name/absolute name. However, that is more of a recommendation than rule. For example the #docspec_python loader by default returns #Module objects with their full module name (and does not create a module hierarchy). | 
| Instance Variable | parent | 
    The parent of the API object. | 
| Property | path | 
    Returns a list of all of this API object's parents, from top to bottom. The list includes self as the last item. | 
              Inherited from _HasInitAttribsMethod (via Variable, Inheritable, ApiObject):
            
| Method | _init | 
    A method to define extra attributes that will be set after initialization. | 
              Inherited from ApiObject:
            
| Method | __repr__ | 
    Undocumented | 
| Method | __str__ | 
    Undocumented | 
| Method | add | 
    A new nodes to the tree, siblings to this node. | 
| Method | get | 
    Retrieve a member from the API object. This will always return None for objects that don't support members (eg. Function and Variable). | 
  
| Method | get | 
    Like get_member but can return several items with the same name. | 
  
| Method | remove | 
    Undocumented | 
| Method | replace | 
    Replace this object by one or more objects. | 
| Method | walk | 
    Traverse a tree of objects, calling the genericvisitor.Visitor.visit method of visitor when entering each node. | 
  
| Method | walkabout | 
    Perform a tree traversal similarly to walk(), except also call the genericvisitor.Visitor.depart method before exiting each node. | 
  
| Class Variable | parent | 
    The parent of the API object. | 
| Instance Variable | root | 
    TreeRoot instance holding references to all objects in the tree. | 
  
| Property | dotted | 
    The fully qualified dotted name of this object, as DottedName instance. | 
  
| Property | full | 
    The fully qualified dotted name of this object, as string. This value is used as the key in the ApiObject.root.all_objects dictionnary. | 
  
| Property | module | 
    Undocumented | 
| Property | scope | 
    Undocumented | 
| Method | _init | 
    A method to define extra attributes that will be set after initialization. | 
| Method | _members |

| Method | _repr |
