Getting the name of a Node

Node._name

Let's say you have a miscellaneous Node that got passed to a function somehow. What is its purpose? The name of the Node may shed some light on this:

from pyntree import Node
x = Node('test.pyn')
x._name  # 'test.pyn'
x.a = 1
x.a._name  # 'a'

A root node without a filename (pure dictionary) will return the string 'None' (not the object, for compatibility reasons).

If you have a child Node named "_name", you will need to use the get function to retrieve it. See here for more details.

.name -> ._name as of 1.0.0
