MDPyDoc 📝🐍

MDPyDoc is a powerful and flexible Python documentation generator that automatically creates markdown documentation from your Python source code. It analyzes the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) of your Python files to extract docstrings, function signatures, and class structures, generating comprehensive and well-formatted documentation.

Features ✨

• 📄 Generates markdown documentation for Python modules, classes, and functions
• 🛠️ Supports both standard logging for enhanced logging capabilities
• 📜 Includes source code in the documentation (optional)
• ⚡ Utilizes parallel processing for faster documentation generation of large projects
• 🎊 Provides colored console output for better readability during the generation process
• 🔧 Supports custom logging levels
• 🏷️ Automatically detects and documents class inheritance
• 📊 Generates parameter tables for functions and methods

Installation 🚀

You can install MDPyDoc using pip:

pip install mdpydoc

Usage 🖥️

You can use MDPyDoc either as a command-line tool or integrate it into your Python scripts.

Command-line Usage 💻

python -m mdpydoc /path/to/source /path/to/docs --show-code --log-level DEBUG --max-workers 4

Arguments:

• src_directory: Source directory containing Python files
• docs_directory: Target directory for generated documentation
• --show-code: Include source code in documentation (optional)
• --log-level: Set the logging level (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL)
• --max-workers: Maximum number of worker threads (positive integer or 'None')

Python Script Usage 📜

from mdpydoc.doc_generator import DocGenerator

doc_generator = DocGenerator(
    show_code=True,
    log_level="INFO",
    max_workers=4
)

doc_generator.process_directory("/path/to/source", "/path/to/docs")

Components 🧩

MDPyDoc consists of several key components:

• DocGenerator: The main class that orchestrates the documentation generation process.
• MarkdownGenerator: Responsible for converting AST nodes into formatted Markdown.
• ASTParser: Parses the Abstract Syntax Tree of Python files.
• DocStringParser: Extracts and parses docstrings from AST nodes.
• FileProcessor: Processes individual Python files.
• AppLogger: A versatile logger.

Customization 🎨

MDPyDoc is designed to be extensible. You can customize the documentation generation process by subclassing and overriding methods in the MarkdownGenerator class.
