======
Parinx implements a basic Sphinx docstring parser language which provides
a interface to extract the relavant parameter. You might find
it most useful for tasks involving automated data extraction from sphinx
docs. Typical usage often looks like this::
```python
#!/usr/bin/env python
from parinx import parser
def test_parse_docstring(self):
docstring = """
Return a dict.
:type zone_id: ``str``
:param zone_id: Required zone id (required)
:keyword auth: Initial authentication information for the node
(optional)
:rtype: ``dict``
"""
result = parser.parse_docstring(docstring)
print (result)
```
(Note parse_docstrings return a dictionary)
`Parinx` is a Python module that makes working with Sphinx feel like you are working with [JSON](http://docs.python.org/library/json.html):
parse_docstring
===============
`parse_docstring` takes `docstring` and `cls` i.e. class name as argument.
Default value for cls is `None`.
It returns dict which contains <br/>
<pre>
`description` of method <br/>
`arguments` contains dict of dict: zone_id{type_name, desciption and required} <br/>
`return` contains dict: {type_name, class, description} <br/>
</pre>
### When `cls=None`
```python
>>> from parinx.parser import parse_docstring
>>> docstring = """
... Return a Zone instance.
... Second line docsting.
...
... :type zone_id: ``str``
... :param zone_id: Required zone id (required)
...
... :keyword auth: Initial authentication information for the node
... (optional)
... :type auth: :class:`NodeAuthSSHKey` or `NodeAuthPassword`
...
... :return: instance
... :rtype: :class:`Zone` or `Node`
... """
>>> result = parse_docstring(docstring)
>>> result
{'return':
{
'type_name': 'class:`Zone` or `Node`',
'description': 'instance'
},
'description': 'Return a Zone instance. Second line docsting.',
'arguments':defaultdict(<function <lambda> at 0x200be60>,
{
'zone_id':
{
'type_name': '``str``',
'description': 'Required zone id (required)',
'required': True
},
'auth':
{
'type_name': 'class:`NodeAuthSSHKey` or `NodeAuthPassword`',
'description':'Initial authentication information for the node
(optional)',
'required': False
}
}
)
}
>>> result['arguments']
defaultdict(<function <lambda> at 0x200bed8>,
{
'zone_id':
{
'type_name': '``str``',
'description': 'Required zone id (required)',
'required': True
},
'auth':
{
'type_name': 'class:`NodeAuthSSHKey` or `NodeAuthPassword`',
'description': 'Initial authentication information for the node (optional)',
'required': False
}
})
>>> result['description']
'Return a Zone instance. Second line docsting.'
>>> return_type = result['return']['type_name']
>>> return_type
'class:`Zone` or `Node`'
```
### When `cls!= None`
```python
>>> class Foo(object):
... def create_node(self, **kwargs):
... """
... Create a new node instance.
...
... :keyword name: String with a name for this new node (required)
... :type name: ``str``
...
... :keyword size: The size of resources allocated to this node.
... (required)
... :type size: ``dict``
...
... :return: The newly created node.
... :rtype: :class:`Node`
... """
...
>>> docstring = get_method_docstring(Foo, 'create_node')
>>> parse_docstring(docstring, Foo)
{
'return':
{
'type_name': 'class:`Node`',
'description': 'The newly created node.'
},
'description': 'Create a new node instance.',
'arguments': defaultdict(<function <lambda> at 0x17eb8c0>,
{
'name':
{
'type_name': '``str``',
'description': 'String with a name for this new node (required)',
'required': True
},
'size':
{
'type_name': '``dict``',
'description': 'The size of resources allocated to this node.
(required)',
'required': True
}
}
)
}
```
split_docstring
===============
`split_docstring' return description and list of fields strings.
Supported field strings are:
* ':param' <br/>
* ':type' <br/>
* ':keyword' <br/>
* ':rtype:' <br/>
* '@inherits:' <br/>
* ':return:' <br/>
```python
>>> result = split_docstring(docstring)
>>> result
('Return a node instance.',
[':keyword name: String with a name for this new node (required)',
':type name: ``str`` ',
':keyword size: The size of resources allocated to this node. (required)',
':type size: ``dict`` ',
':return: instance',
':rtype: :class:`Node` '])
>>> result[1]
[':keyword name: String with a name for this new node (required)',
':type name: ``str`` ',
':keyword size: The size of resources allocated to this node.
(required)',
':type size: ``dict`` ',
':return: instance',
':rtype: :class:`Node` ']
>>> result[1][3]
':type size: ``dict`` '
```
get_method_docstring
====================
`get_method_docstring` takes class name(cls) and method name as argument(method_name).
It returns method docstring. <br/>
If method docstring is empty then it takes it from parent class.
```python
>>> class Parent(object):
def create_node(self, **kwargs):
"""
Create a new node instance.
:keyword name: String with a name for this new node (required)
:type name: ``str``
:keyword size: The size of resources allocated to this node.
(required)
:type size: ``dict``
:return: The newly created node.
:rtype: :class:`Node`
"""
>>> class Child(Parent):
def return_node(self, **kwargs):
"""

Second line docsting.
:type zone_id: ``str``
:param zone_id: Required zone id (required)
:keyword auth: Initial authentication information for the node

:return: instance
:rtype: :class:`Zone` or `Node`
"""
```
```python
>>> from parinx.parser import get_method_string
>>> get_method_docstring(Parent, 'create_node').split('\n')
['Create a new node instance.', '',
':keyword name: String with a name for this new node (required)',
':type name: ``str``', '',
':keyword size: The size of resources allocated to this node.',
' (required)',
':type size: ``dict``', '',
':return: The newly created node.',
':rtype: :class:`Node`']
>>> get_method_docstring(Child, 'return_node').split('\n')
['Return a Zone instance.',
'Second line docsting.', '',
':type zone_id: ``str``',
':param zone_id: Required zone id (required)', '',
':keyword auth: Initial authentication information for the node',
' (optional)',
':type auth: :class:`NodeAuthSSHKey` or `NodeAuthPassword`', '',
':return: instance', ':rtype: :class:`Zone` or `Node`']
>>> get_method_docstring(Child, 'create_node').split('\n')
['Create a new node instance.', '',
':keyword name:String with a name for this new node (required)',
':type name: ``str``', '',
':keyword size: The size of resources allocated to this node.',
' (required)',
':type size: ``dict``', '',
':return: The newly created node.',
':rtype: :class:`Node`']
>>> get_method_docstring(Parent, 'return_node').split('\n')
