dynadoc 1.4

Docstring generation from annotations with configurable output formats.

📝 A Python library package which bridges the gap between rich annotations and automatic documentation generation with configurable renderers and support for reusable fragments.

Key Features ⭐

• 🔄 Docstring Generation: Generation of docstrings for modules, classes, functions, and methods via introspection with fine-grained control.

• 🧩 Fragment System: Reusable documentation snippets for consistent terminology across projects.

• 🏷️ Annotation Metadata: Extraction and inclusion of metadata from annotations into generated docstrings.

• 🔌 Extensible Architecture: Custom renderers, attribute visibility rules, and introspection limiters.

• 📖 Sphinx-Compatible Output: Render reStructuredText docstrings that work with Sphinx Autodoc out of the box.

• 🎨 Configurable Renderers: Ability to extend with other renderers as desired.

Installation 📦

Method: Install Python Package

Install via uv pip command:

uv pip install dynadoc

Or, install via pip:

pip install dynadoc

Examples 💡

Please see the examples directory.

Function Documentation:

import dynadoc
from typing import Annotated

@dynadoc.with_docstring( )
def process_api_data(
    endpoint: Annotated[ str, dynadoc.Doc( "API endpoint URL to query" ) ],
    timeout: Annotated[ float, dynadoc.Doc( "Request timeout in seconds" ) ] = 30.0,
) -> Annotated[ dict, dynadoc.Doc( "Processed API response data" ) ]:
    ''' Process data from API endpoint with configurable timeout. '''
    return { }

Which will be turned into the following docstring on the function by the default renderer:

Process data from API endpoint with configurable timeout.

:argument endpoint: API endpoint URL to query
:type endpoint: str
:argument timeout: Request timeout in seconds
:type timeout: float
:returns: Processed API response data
:rtype: dict

Module Documentation:

Document all annotated attributes in current module:

import dynadoc

dynadoc.assign_module_docstring( __name__ )
