docshund: a doc dog.

Project description

d o c s h u n d

simple code documentation generation

PyPI

NOTE: Docshund is in alpha and may not yet be suitable for production workloads. Please exercise caution when using. (We'll try not to break everything if you promise not to expect it not to break everything.)

Why

We were tired of complex, long-running doc-generators. In some cases, we wanted to generate documentation for our source but didn't want to install all of our libraries' dependencies just to make a small change to a README. Docshund is the answer to this problem. Docshund doesn't require pip-installation of your package and, even for large projects, runs in just a handful of milliseconds.

On the flip-side, Docshund does not have the same featurelist as many other libraries, and Docshund also has a hard time jumping up onto your couch without help.

Installation

pip3 install docshund

Usage

docshund code.py > documentation.md

Or document an entire module with:

docshund .
docshund /path/to/module

What she do:

Go from this:

class Foo:
    """
    This is a foo.

    Do not cross the foo streams!
    """

    def __init__(self):
        """
        Create a new foo.
        """

    def cross_streams(self, other_foo: Foo = None):
        """
        Cross the streams of this foo with another foo.

        If you do this, it will throw an error.

        Arguments:
            other_foo (Foo: None): The foo with which you'd like to cross streams

        Returns:
            None

        Raises:
            FooError: Raised if you cross the streams.

        """
        if other_foo:
            raise FooError("What did we JUST tell you?!")

To this markdown:

## *Class* `Foo`


This is a foo.

Do not cross the foo streams!


## *Function* `__init__(self)`


Create a new foo.


## *Function* `cross_streams(self, other_foo: Foo = None)`

If you do this, it will throw an error.

### Arguments
> - **other_foo** (`Foo`: `None`): The foo with which you'd like to cross streams

### Returns
    None

### Raises
> - **FooError** (`None`: `None`): Raised if you cross the streams.

Class Foo
