string_to_raw_path

NodeTree.string_to_raw_path(node: str) → str

Parameters:

node (str) – A string representation of the node.

Returns:

Raw node path that can be used a key in the internal dictionary.

Raises:

ValueError – If the node is a relative path and no prefix can be added.

Return type:

str
