Installation

pip install inkpot

Usage

singel file

python3 -m inkpot myfile.py

or directory

python3 -m inkpot myproject/

output to a file (also works with directories)

python3 -m inkpot myfile.py > doc.md
python3 -m inkpot myproject/ > doc.md

Currently this returns a markdown table. More functionality and a better format will be added.

Example

Python file ex/add.py

def add(a,b):
    """ add to objects """
    return a + b
python3 -m inkpot ex/add.py

returns markdown

# ex/add.py
## ex/add.py
| type   | name   | doc-str        |
|:-------|:-------|:---------------|
| def    | add    | add to objects |
| module | add    | None           |

  • Added node visitor support (refactor in file class)

    Added node visitor support (refactor in file class)

    Refactored File class, much better code (more dynamic) with a node visitor. Also fixed directory support bug with double backslash.

    The output is still the same as before.

  • Added file-node support (classes, modules etc..) and better formatting for output.

    Added file-node support (classes, modules etc..) and better formatting for output.

    I found a Python base module called "ast". It parses a source file and checks for specified nodes (class, module etc..). I also changed the file-output to a markdown table format which looks much better in my opinion.

    python3 -m inkpot ex/car.py > car_test.md

    Output:

    car_test.md

  • Fixed issue with function definitions, and removed lowercase

    Fixed issue with function definitions, and removed lowercase

    There was an issue when extracting function definitions in the previous version, for example you could write something like:

    #def 
test = "def"

    Both the comment and the string declaration would be interpreted as functions, but that is no longer the case.

  • Added support for multiline-docstrings

    Added support for multiline-docstrings

    Previously, only singleline-docstrings were supported, but not longer.

    Test Car Class:

    class car:
    def __init__(self):
        self.wheels = 0
        self.doors = 0
        self.engine = ""
        self.number_plate = ""

    def start(self):
        """starts the engine of the car"""
        self.engine = """Running"""

    def stop(self):
        """Stop the engine of the car!"""
        self.engine = "Stopping"

    def honk(self):
        """
        Use
        "The"
        ""Horn""
        """
        print("Honking...")
        print("Honk Honk!")

    def __str__(self):
        """
        example of a longer multiline-docstring,
        everything will be printed on a single line
        """
        return self.number_plate

    Output:

    # ex/car.py
## ex/car.py
| def | doc-str |
| --- | --- |
|     __init__(self) | no docstring |
|     start(self) | starts the engine of the car |
|     stop(self) | stop the engine of the car! |
|     honk(self) | use "the" ""horn"" |
|     __str__(self) | example of a longer multiline-docstring, everything will be printed on a single line |

  • Skip given directory

    Skip given directory

    There should be a way of skipping a directory. This could be done by a flag -s "./not-included-dir/" or --skip "./not-included-dir/" But I might want to not include multiple directories, in this case one could maybe do something like this:

    --skip "./not-included-dir/|./some-other-dir"

    or

    --skip "./not-included-dir/, ./some-other-dir"

    I don't know what way would be best for multiple files

    or should one use an .inkpot.ignore file for multiple files :man_shrugging:
