ETXPath(self, path, extensions=None, regexp=True, smart_strings=True) Special XPath class that supports the ElementTree {uri} notation for namespaces.

Note that this class does not accept the `namespace` keyword argument. All namespaces must be passed as part of the path string. Smart strings will be returned for string results unless you pass `smart_strings=False`.
