```auto
from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common import QualifiedPath, WellKnownPathTypes

qp = QualifiedPath.Builder()
	.set(WellKnownPathTypes.HistoryProvider, "provider")
	.setDriver("driver")
	.setTag("path/to/tag")
	.build()
	.toString()

```

Doesn’t really buy you much over joining the string parts together yourself.
