If you need to check for both xyz and tab classes, you can use .xyz.tab:

>>> from pyquery import PyQuery as pq
>>> data = """
... <div>
...     <div class="xyz tab">test1</div>
...     <div class="xyz">test2</div>
... </div>
... """
>>> d = pq(data)
>>> print d('.xyz.tab')
<div class="xyz tab">test1</div>
