docstring_type_tag_checker - package to check the validity of docstrings type

This package contains the 'BaseDocstringType' class that helps analyse a type docstring. It is able to check if your type docstring format is correct and get the types used in the docstring.

Basic Use

You simply have to import the class and pass the docstring to it :

from docstring_type_tag_checker import BaseDocstringType

type_string = "dict[str, numpy.ndarray[int | float] | list[int | float]]"
the_instance = BaseDocstringType.get_type_object(type_string)

from this step, you can now check if the format is valid:

the_instance.is_valid()
>>> True

You can also get the string of the different types used in the docstring (primitve types are ignored)

the_instance.get_type_strings()
>>> {'numpy.ndarray'}

You can also get a representation of the structure of the docstring with the str function

str(the_instance)
>>> GENERIC[dict]
        STRING str
        UNION
            GENERIC[numpy.ndarray]
                UNION
                    STRING int
                    STRING float
            GENERIC[list]
                UNION
                    STRING int
                    STRING float
