class OnenoteEntityBaseModel
OnenoteEntityBaseModel is a base class for OneNote entities that inherits from Entity. It serves as a foundational type for all OneNote-related entity models in the Office365 SDK.

4 - 7
simple
Purpose
This class acts as an abstract base type for OneNote entities in the Office365 Python SDK. It provides a common inheritance hierarchy for all OneNote-specific entity models (such as notebooks, sections, pages, etc.) by extending the generic Entity class. While it currently contains no additional implementation beyond the Entity base class, it establishes a type hierarchy that allows for OneNote-specific functionality to be added in the future and enables type checking and polymorphism for OneNote entities.
Source Code
class OnenoteEntityBaseModel(Entity):
"""This is the base type for OneNote entities."""
pass
Parameters
| Name | Type | Default | Kind |

Entity | - |
Parameter Details
bases: Inherits from Entity class, which is the base class for all Office365 entities. The Entity class likely provides common functionality for API interactions, property management, and data serialization/deserialization.
Return Value
Instantiation returns an OnenoteEntityBaseModel object that inherits all methods and attributes from the Entity base class. The specific return values depend on the methods inherited from Entity, which are not visible in this code snippet.
Class Interface
Methods
__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
Purpose: Initializes the OnenoteEntityBaseModel instance by calling the parent Entity class constructor
Parameters:
args: Variable positional arguments passed to the Entity base classkwargs: Variable keyword arguments passed to the Entity base class, typically including context for API operations
Returns: None (constructor)
Attributes
| Name | Type | Description | Scope |
|---|---|---|---|
inherited_from_Entity |
various | All attributes are inherited from the Entity base class. Common attributes likely include context (API context), properties (entity properties), and metadata for API operations. Specific attributes depend on the Entity class implementation. | instance |
Dependencies

Required Imports
from office365.entity import Entity
from office365.onenote.onenote_entity_base_model import OnenoteEntityBaseModel
Usage Example
# This is a base class and typically not instantiated directly
# Instead, it's used as a parent class for specific OneNote entities
from office365.onenote.onenote_entity_base_model import OnenoteEntityBaseModel
# Example of a derived class (hypothetical)
class OnenoteNotebook(OnenoteEntityBaseModel):
def __init__(self, context):
super().__init__(context)
self.display_name = None
# Typical usage would be through derived classes
# notebook = OnenoteNotebook(context)
# notebook.display_name = "My Notebook"
Best Practices
- This class should not be instantiated directly; it serves as a base class for concrete OneNote entity implementations
- When creating derived classes, ensure proper initialization by calling super().__init__() to maintain the Entity class initialization chain
- Use this class as a type hint or base class for all OneNote-specific entities to maintain consistent type hierarchy
- Follow the Office365 SDK patterns for entity property management and API interactions inherited from the Entity base class
- This class provides a clear separation between generic Office365 entities and OneNote-specific entities in the type system
