Module restructuredtext
source code

Epydoc parser for ReStructuredText strings. ReStructuredText is the standard markup language used by the Docutils project. parse_docstring() provides the primary interface to this module; it returns a ParsedRstDocstring, which supports all of the methods defined by ParsedDocstring.

ParsedRstDocstring is basically just a ParsedDocstring wrapper for the docutils.nodes.document class.

Creating ParsedRstDocstrings

ParsedRstDocstrings are created by the parse_document function, using the docutils.core.publish_string() method, with the following helpers:

Using ParsedRstDocstrings

ParsedRstDocstrings support all of the methods defined by ParsedDocstring; but only the following four methods have non-default behavior:


To Do: Add ParsedRstDocstring.to_latex()

Classes [hide private]
ParsedRstDocstring An encoded version of a ReStructuredText docstring.
_EpydocReader A reader that captures all errors that are generated by parsing, and appends them to a list.
_DocumentPseudoWriter A pseudo-writer for the docutils framework, that can be used to access the document itself.
_SummaryExtractor A docutils node visitor that extracts the first sentence from the first paragraph in a document.
_SplitFieldsTranslator A docutils translator that removes all fields from a document, and collects them into the instance variable fields
_EpydocLaTeXTranslator  
_EpydocHTMLTranslator  
    Graph Generation Directives
dotgraph A custom docutils node that should be rendered using Graphviz dot.

Function Details [hide private]

parse_docstring(docstring, errors, **options)

source code 
call graph 
Parse the given docstring, which is formatted using ReStructuredText; and return a ParsedDocstring representation of its contents.
Parameters:
  • docstring (string) - The docstring to parse
  • errors (list of ParseError) - A list where any errors generated during parsing will be stored.
  • options - Extra options. Unknown options are ignored. Currently, no extra options are defined.
Returns: ParsedDocstring

latex_head_prefix()

source code 

_dir_option(argument)

source code 
A directive option spec for the orientation of a graph.

digraph_directive(name, arguments, options, content, lineno, content_offset, block_text, state, state_machine)

source code 
A custom restructuredtext directive which can be used to display Graphviz dot graphs. This directive takes a single argument, which is used as the graph's name. The contents of the directive are used as the body of the graph. Any href attributes whose value has the form <name> will be replaced by the URL of the object with that name. Here's a simple example:
.. digraph:: example_digraph
  a -> b -> c
  c -> a [dir="none"]

_construct_digraph(docindex, context, linker, title, caption, body)

source code 
Graph generator for digraph_directive

classtree_directive(name, arguments, options, content, lineno, content_offset, block_text, state, state_machine)

source code 

A custom restructuredtext directive which can be used to graphically display a class hierarchy. If one or more arguments are given, then those classes and all their descendants will be displayed. If no arguments are given, and the directive is in a class's docstring, then that class and all its descendants will be displayed. It is an error to use this directive with no arguments in a non-class docstring.

Options:
  • :dir: -- Specifies the orientation of the graph. One of down, right (default), left, up.

_construct_classtree(docindex, context, linker, arguments, options)

source code 
Graph generator for classtree_directive

packagetree_directive(name, arguments, options, content, lineno, content_offset, block_text, state, state_machine)

source code 

A custom restructuredtext directive which can be used to graphically display a package hierarchy. If one or more arguments are given, then those packages and all their submodules will be displayed. If no arguments are given, and the directive is in a package's docstring, then that package and all its submodules will be displayed. It is an error to use this directive with no arguments in a non-package docstring.

Options:
  • :dir: -- Specifies the orientation of the graph. One of down, right (default), left, up.

_construct_packagetree(docindex, context, linker, arguments, options)

source code 
Graph generator for packagetree_directive

importgraph_directive(name, arguments, options, content, lineno, content_offset, block_text, state, state_machine)

source code 

_construct_importgraph(docindex, context, linker, arguments, options)

source code

callgraph_directive(name, arguments, options, content, lineno, content_offset, block_text, state, state_machine)

source code 

_construct_callgraph(docindex, context, linker, arguments, options)

source code 
Graph generator for callgraph_directive

CONSOLIDATED_FIELDS

A dictionary whose keys are the "consolidated fields" that are recognized by epydoc; and whose values are the corresponding epydoc field names that should be used for the individual fields.
Value:
{'arguments': 'arg',
 'cvariables': 'cvar',
 'exceptions': 'except',
 'groups': 'group',
 'ivariables': 'ivar',
 'keywords': 'keyword',
 'parameters': 'param',
 'types': 'type',
...                                                                    
      

CONSOLIDATED_DEFLIST_FIELDS

A list of consolidated fields whose bodies may be specified using a definition list, rather than a bulleted list. For these fields, the 'classifier' for each term in the definition list is translated into a @type field.
Value:
['param', 'arg', 'var', 'ivar', 'cvar', 'keyword']
